[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 236644, member: 2322"] Janna, I have one child who has done really well on Adderall small dose, though the cocktail of Lamictal and Risperdal has taken away much of the anxiety and irritability which didn't do so well with the Adderall mix. My youngest has been on just about every drug out there --he is totally disorganized, very distractible, not so hyper, can't tolerate stims because they increase the perseveration to an anxiety pitch. Has been on strattera, tenex, wellbutrin, focalin, adderall, ritalin.... Only thing that seems to help some is Abilify--but he can only tolerate 2.5 mg dose due to side effects. But even that dose seems to help some. I remember you were up to a really high dose of Abilify at one point. We have taken my son off it, only to restart it several weeks later because we saw the difference. It acts on dopamine so it may indeed have some positive impacts on executive functioning. We are also trialing a low dose 5 htp supplement to some apparent good effects--seems to work better than zoloft. I don't thinkwe are ever going to lick this one. structure is going to be the name of the game. [/QUOTE]
