[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 269834, member: 2423"] Just wanted to add that a neuropsychologist is generally a PhD psychologist who has extra training in the brain-behavior connection. A neuropsychologist will administer testing that typically runs from 6 to 10 hours and will give you excellent information on the cognitive and psychological functioning of your difficult child. Neurospychologists can be found at children's and university teaching hospitals. Is your difficult child's behavior better, worse or about the same on Adderall XR? Is he still doing OK on Fluoxetine? You should be aware that if there is an underyling bipolar disorder, kids who take stimulants like Adderall and SSRI antidepressants like Fluoxetine can suddenly become much worse, with increased anger, aggression, violence and suicidal/homicidal ideation. Reactions to SSRIs typically occur at the 3-week or 3-month mark so you should be ever watchful in the event this occurs. [/QUOTE]
