[QUOTE="buddy, post: 463907, member: 12886"] Oh wow, I've been there. So sorry. Your poor boy. I found out my son had an enzyme disorder making medication management very difficult. Needs extra of some, can't have others and may have to begin dosing in extremely small amounts at times or at large amounts for others. I remember him at age four with one medication...it took 4 adults to hold down a 30 lb. kid. In 3rd grade he was given a similar medication to try again and he jumped over the back seat of my car and pulled the keys out of the ignition. Tried to strangle me with the seatbelt, etc. It was awful and I stopped the medications and called the dr. Luckily our dr. decided to do the liver enzyme study. I hear what the others are saying, it does beg the question of whether or not adhd is the primary issue....does he have another diagnosis that accounts for those kinds of symptoms. My son has a brain injury that looks like adhd and tourette's on steroids! I really feel for you and your son. I hope you find an answer so you can go on to make some better memories.
