[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 300997, member: 3444"] I have to "pre" medicate difficult child 1 for the same reasons. But something you wrote really struck me and I hope you don't mind if I say this. When you tell us that he burns through the Focalin XR fast, and that he's got severe ADHD/ODD, that sets off a loud alarm in my head because that is exactly what we saw in difficult child 2 before we finally realized that his severe ADHD, that finally would not respond to ANY stimulant medications, no matter how ridiculously high the dosage or frequency it was administered, was in fact Bipolar disorder. Maybe it's time for another pair of professional eyes to look at him and re-evaluate the medications? Just a thought. Has he ever tried Seroquel? How is he doing on the Strattera? [/QUOTE]
