[QUOTE="Janna, post: 236569, member: 2737"] I think the brand name is Dexadrine. And, we did try that while Dylan was in the Residential Treatment Facility (RTF). He was very weepy on that medication. Moreso than normal. I don't want to say depressed, but short fused, which would lead to abnormal amounts of crying. Anyway, we took him off. The "chill pill" Dylan was given - Buspar - is anti anxiety. Not sure about interactions with Dexamphetamine, but may be worth looking into. Dylan was given this to help with (just like you said!) his Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)/Asperger type thinking. The obsessive, it's going to kill me I just can't let it go thinking was making him mad. It was to the point he was all but eating his clothing (chewing) due to the anxiety. The Buspar smooshed it LOL! But, we also hoped it would help with ADHD and hasn't. Oh well. He is calmer, but I'm sure partly due to the Seroquel. I want to talk to psychiatrist about trying to tirate down, then off the Seroquel and replace it with something for ADHD. I know they aren't the same type of medication, but I'm so uneasy with giving him an AP. His diagnosis is definately, without a doubt, Autism. Depending on who you ask, it varies (of course), but it's all Autism. The neuropsychologist says Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. The psychiatrist says Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified with an Outrule of Aspergers. The Masters Level therapist that comes here says Aspergers, Mild - Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified, Clinical. Of course, (as if I'd be surprised) the psychologist that works with the therapist says the same LMAO! But, they all concur, which is nice - because they're all from different places and now everyone's saying about the same thing. We're gearing up for a very thorough (one last time if I have any say) neuropsychological evaluation with a center here that is specifically for Autistic children and children with Developmental Disabilities, where we're hoping for an Asperger diagnosis, finally. I don't know if he'll turn out to be Bipolar. It's one of those things that's hanging on as a Mood Disorder and maybe over time it'll turn into something and maybe it won't.
