Thank you everyone for sharing!!
justour2boys, great points about the patch, Ill keep track too for mine. I call it "packing tape" on his hips because thats what it seems like when I put on and off. Glad your boys are took to the pills! Thanks for the idea!
Castle Queen, I will look into Ritalin and talk to the Dr as a possible backup. No Im still on the back burner with doctors but next month he should be seeing someone who can hopefully test him. His school is private so they dont offer that. I read the list where 50 other things can mimic ADHD!!! So I want him tested for all of them now. Ok sounds crazy but I think just to be sure.
Wiped Out, I remember you mentioning yours was only on clonidine because of the bipolar. I know over the years you and others read all my rants but I really am thinking my son may have bipolar or something else. How do they separate the ADHD and Bipolar diagnose? His Dr thinks all his flip of a switch attitude and violence, of course no sitting and concentration to ADHD. I just want to be sure, better to have him tested for everything that way we really know whats going on. ( I took the bipolar,ODD and ADHD quiz and he marked high on most answers for all of them esp ODD and ADHD.
