[QUOTE="jal, post: 236487, member: 3477"] Hi Janna, My difficult child was diagnosis'd BiPolar (BP) and ADHD by one psychiatrist. None of the medications worked. We tried Ritalin, Metadate, Adderrall, Dexedrine, Vyvanse, Daytrana, a Straterra and Tenex combo...I could go on. Nothing helped and would just set him into aggitation and rages. difficult child was just diagnosis'd with a new psychiatrist as Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) - Aspergers and anxiety. She said it is not ADHD. difficult child is on Seroquel 100mg am and 50mg when he gets home and 50mg before bed. We have added 10 mg of Fluoxetine (Prozac) in the am for the anxiety. We just started so we haven't seen the full effect. Just adding my experience with stims as you mentioned you are no longer looking at BiPolar (BP) but Autism. With regards to the dr talking about one medication working for a family member...I have heard that from a few doctors. Typically if one works well for one person it may work for a relation. That is why when our last psychiatrist told us he believed difficult child was 99.9% BiPolar (BP) and he wanted to trial Wellbutrin (Buproprion) to combat the ADHD we said no. husband's Aunt who is BiPolar (BP) used Zyban (Buproprion) to quit smoking and had a psychotic break.
