[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 291900, member: 1550"] He may have been hallucinating because of the Adderrall. My son was awful on it--we threw it out. I think before you go medication hunting it's best to get that neuropsychologist evaluation. It may be an ADHD mimicker, in which case a stimulant could make him worse in the long run rather than better. It's a good idea in my opinion to go slow with the diagnosis. and medications. I think I went too fast with my son. We accepted the ADHD diagnosis. at once and put him on medications at age three. ADHD isn't his main diagnosis. I wish I could go back in time and slow it all down--get several opinions on what to do, research, and decide. If your son has something other than ADHD, stims can make him worse--after all, it's speed. My daughter, who abused drugs, used to get high with her friends on ADHD medications, with Adderrall being the drug of choice ($10 a pill). They would crush them in pillcrushers and snort them either alone or with other drugs. Be cautious and have your child re-evaluated before playing with medications. These are heavy duty medications. I know because I've tried most of them--some made me a lot worse rather than better. [/QUOTE]
