[QUOTE="DDD, post: 582573, member: 35"] Welcome MamaDe. I don't have too much time right now but wanted to say Welcome. Although I did read your entire post I am not sure that I absorbed what outside interventions your son has had. I hesitate to respond at this time because I may have missed some important information. Sigh. I did absorb that you have had a difficult time in the past and now are prepared to take medications to help stabilize your life. That's great. Probably the most valuable help for your son will come from your consistent and confident parenting methods. Don't beat yourself up for the mistakes you made before...most of us have yelled, spanked, been inconsistent, etc. before we finally "found our groove". I, personally, had to start each day saying a quick prayer that I could handle the parenting stress. Your son sounds very much like many of our sons. My middle ADHer was, like your son, handsome, popular, polite and intellectually gifted. His ADHD however made it impossible for him to function appropriately when surrounded by the other students, activities, teachers etc. When he began Concerta he no longer had to struggle daily to follow the rules. On the weekend he did not need medications and, as you know, stims are quick in/quick out so there was no reason to use it on the weekends etc. Yes, I did read that you are against medications for your son but many of us alter that original view when we see our children struggling unnecessarily. You have found a great place with alot of diverse but caring people. Glad you found us. DDD [/QUOTE]
