[QUOTE="WearyMomof2, post: 742232, member: 23447"] His psychiatrist has made a few changes to his medications, most recently about 6 months ago after he hit his stepbrother. He's on Vyvanse right now for ADHD. He had been in intuniv along with stimulant medications, but that caused too much sedation. The Vyvance works well for him in school. We find most of his behavior challenges come at the end of the day when his medications are wearing off. He's having considerable difficulties getting his homework done in the evening without me sitting with him. I don't know if that's the ADHD or anxiety. I suspect anxiety. He really struggles in school and that's very hard for him because he's the oldest and biggest kid in the class. [/QUOTE]
