[QUOTE="Jena, post: 424357, member: 4514"] hi welcome.......... sorry you had to find us, yet welcome :) sooo you said he's better in school with the ritalin?? than that would mean the aggression isnt' due to the medications if he isnt' displaying that at school at all. than you said he gets more aggressive with each dose increase?? i'm confused sorry........ being a single parent is soo hard especially with kids like ours, i know i did it for a long time. it's def. an adventure! if you had to compare his behavior between now and before he went on the medications would you say his behavior is improved at all, or decreased and gotten worse in other areas?? also is he in some type of pyschotherapy at all? i think using the medication without the kids getting the tools to learn to cope with what they have doesnt' bring as much of a lasting effect. plus it'll give him somewhere to vent and another person on your side. plus you can have monthly meetings wtih the therapist and talk about things to do at home to help you. thats' what i used to do. as far as home, id' make a strict routine..... i've come to learn that really helps alot. give him rewards when you catch him doing good things, yet dont' react to the bad unless like you said he's raising his hand to you. as long as he's not hurting himself or anyone else or breaking anything ride it out. if you can. not easy i know............ welcome again............. by the way what does the dr say about the aggression at home? did he suggest cutting dosage maybe half in a.m. half in afternoon?
