[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 322037, member: 3444"] Once bipolar reared it's ugly head in my difficult child 2, we could not use stimulants for his ADHD any more. Made him manic and just completely out of control. We are trialing an Alzheimer's medication called Namenda right now because it is supposed to help with focus and attention by targeting glutamate in the brain. difficult child 2 is on his third week titrating up and it seems to be helping a bit. We've tried caffeine, B vitamins, over the counter energy drinks -- they really only gave short-term help with disagreeable side-effects like jitters. Just something you might want to consider.
