[QUOTE="Janna, post: 236536, member: 2737"] Thanks, you guys. SW, wasn't your son on Provigil, or is he? Sigs aren't showing up. I think I asked one of our previous psychiatrists about that one. I wrote them down, thank you for those. We did try Wellbutrin in the Residential Treatment Facility (RTF). Really no changes, other than a little moodier than normal. Then we tried Luvox, and that was - well - horrible. I'm with you on the dosing. I appreciate that. I'm not really looking to help with the "H". I need more of the ADD help at this point. He needs so much redirection and help with staying on task at school that he is to the point of needing a 1:1 JUST to keep him on task. He fidgets, he is staring out the window, you're teaching and he's talking about the car that just drove by LMAO! The hyperactivity part has slowed, some (he's now probably considered NORMAL ADHD instead of the incredible overactive I dunno what he was last year - I mean, that kid was HYPEEEEEEEEE!). You would think with his placement (he's in a partial program, there's a teacher, an aide, like 3 kids in the room!) they'd be helping more with that, but it doesn't seem so by his comments and points he comes home with. We've tried so many things to help him stay on task (you should see these cool stress balls I just got him from Office Playground - they're scary faces with "blood" and "guts" LMAO) and it works, for a minute, then it's gone. I'm gonna print up the thread and use it for my notes to psychiatrist Friday. T, it's no fun LOL! Dyl is loaded up with anxiety, which is probably why the medication is helping. I've been asking for a "chill pill" for him for 9 years and they finally woke up and gave him one. I think if this hadn't worked, they were thinking Ativan (?) or something of that nature. But, I've read that it's so addictive, so I'm thankful it worked. I hope you find something that works for K. It is very frustrating. Thanks everyone, it's appreciated. [/QUOTE]
