[QUOTE="cassiemoun, post: 424141, member: 11557"] I can tell you from our own experience that when my children were off stimulants, (in the mornings, evenings and if we'd ever forget medications) they were completely out of control. Much more ADHD then they ever were before they started ADHD medications in the first place. It's called rebound and for us, it was MAJOR. It was one of the major reasons we switched to a non-stuimulant (though, I will say the stimulants helped with- fine motor control, focus and organization better!) Also, from personal experience, I can tell you that when kids can do better, they do do better. In other words, your child isn't trying to make you upset and frustrated. That is where he is at right now. Being positive and encouraging goes further than being punitive and punishing, though I know that's not easy to do! When he's being really intense with his energy, get him outside, bring him somewhere (swimming, the beach, the woods) where he isn't going to have to follow too many rules and have a lot of self disipline. One question, How long has he been at this school? Have they done an evulation? Does he have an IEP? [/QUOTE]
