[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 338249, member: 2423"] We had definitely reached this point with J and stimulants a couple of years before he left for Residential Treatment Center (RTC). They worked, but there was far too much variability in his mood to continue to use them. I'm curious, though -- you said difficult child 1 does well on Focalin. Have you ever tried him on Focalin XR instead of Daytrana? Focalin is refined Ritalin so the side effects are supposed to be lessened. I'm wondering if it would be better for difficult child 1. I'm also wondering if difficult child 1 has ever tried Wellbutrin. It is a stimulatory AD that helps with ADHD symptoms. It doesn't have the rebound effect of stimulants. This is the only medication J is on right now, and his mood is very even. Just a thought. I hope the psychiatrist is able to offer some good suggestions for you tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
