[QUOTE="CCRidr2, post: 42733, member: 3714"] We also had the same problem with our difficult child sneaking. Right now he is on Focalin XR which has TOTALLY helped with the rages of the ODD while still letting his personality shine through! Ritalin and Adderall made this wonderfully creative loving boy a zombie! Sugar, however, negates the effects of the Focalin and sends him manic (we are going to have him tested for Early Onset Bi-Polar (EOBP)). Then when the mania subsides he is arguing and raging about everything! We put him on a basically diabetic diet, gmom's are great about buying him his "special" treats. We found out the hard way, though, that Splenda is made from sugar and still contains the sugar alcohols. Now we are VERY careful to not only check the sugar content but the sugar alcohols. We have very limited (and in a padlocked case) sugary stuff in the house for hubby and myself but the amount of products that are now available for diabetics is amazing. Everything from popsicles and jam to granola bars and fruit snacks/juices are now available at most grocery stores so he doesn't "feel" like we're denying him anything. This diet in combo with the Focalin has made a world of difference in his behavior at school, he was suspended twice this year before we switched to Focalin and the diabetic diet. Although I still cringe when I see SD on the caller id, it's not as scary to answer it now. [/QUOTE]
