[QUOTE="jannie, post: 149183, member: 2074"] difficult child has always been hyperm but manageable. He's is very bright and excelled in school so he was able to keep up with the work and get things done. As he got older I noticed that he had a really hard time sustaining is attention and beame easily frustrated when things were a bit challenging. He was unable to persevere and work things out...writing in general and writing in resonse to reading was becoming more and more challenging. He also was having a hard time putting thoughts on paper or even coming up with ideas...He was always impulsive...I always did my best to put him in a class with the most structured teacher. Homework time was a struggle but the work was easy for him so we battled just to get it done.....As time went on he has been getting more angry, more frustrated and more agitated. We didn't start with a stimulant because I was really concerned about tics and Tourette's Syndrome. I did not want bring out something that could quite likely be in his genes. So we waiting as long as we could. The anger/frustration along with hyper/anxious/impulsive were big symptoms. Here the order of medications: Gr. 3 tenex (2-3 months) Gr. 4 straterra (three weeks) abilify ( six months) nothing Gr. 5 zoloft (25-50 mg) Vyvanse (20 mg) Lexapo Lamictil I do think the zoloft/lexapro has made him more hyper...which is why we cut it back...but I do think it has helped with anxiety. This morning...I did not give him his vyvanse...He took the lamictil last night before bed only 12.5 mg. [/QUOTE]
