[QUOTE="cher, post: 205431, member: 1731"] Thanks so much for the replies and to answer your questions, My son is taking 30 mg of fluoxetine, primarily for mild Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) behaviours, he is on 70mg of vyvanse 40 in the a.m. and 30 in the afternoon (1:00) he has been on just about everything out there. He has a huge problem getting up in the a.m., even for events he enjoys (school is not something he enjoys!) By agitation I mean that he is very easily frustrated. Everything bothers him, from us talking too loud if he's watching t.v. to "bugging him" if we ask him to do something. He is extremely bright but has difficulty in school because of his lack of concentration and his executive function skills are at grade school level. He has an I.E.P. but it is a struggle to get it adhered to and I suppose most here have been throught that experience. He loves theater and his "Mass media" class and Art.
