[QUOTE="agee, post: 342000"] My son was diagnosis. with ADHD at 4. His diagnosis. has changed since then, and is still changing, but I am very glad I found someone who was willing to work with us then or difficult child wouldn't be anywhere near where he is now. Up until 2 years ago he would either not respond when we made a request or scream NO no matter what we asked him. Now, he usually will give some kind of real answer about 50% of the time. I credit the medications, whether the right ones or not, for that. Also time. Also lots of time outs. ;) Anyhoo - to answer your question: with stimulants we saw results immediately once the dose got high enough. So the first week we saw nothing, second week, not much, but third week, once dosage was amped up, we saw results. As for the antipsychotics, I've seen little results in my difficult child at all. Prozac took a couple of weeks, but we did see a change eventually, and imiprimine, which is an old-school anti-depressant, we saw immediate results for the better. Good luck. I know what it's like to worry that the people evaluating won't see what you see. Lucky for me (??) difficult child has really been acting up recently and has been showing everyone what he's capable of. A [/QUOTE]
