[QUOTE="devira, post: 153324, member: 5229"] OMG, this is so frustrating, I have changed to this new Psychiatrist, because my previous Dr. was not listening to me... and just kept on upping the dose. The problem is that his medications work great until noon, then he slowly returns to his out of control state (now). I am not saying with medications he is a "perfect" child, but he can function in school and has no social issues. The defiance never goes away and neither does his need for one on one etc... My first dr started slow and increased until we were at a functional dose. Bu he was a pediatrician and said that Ira's needs wer truly out of his professional knowledge. But even he just upped the dose when things got harry... My second doctor said that adderal XR was not working well for him because it did not last through the school day, instead of changing medications she made his dose so high he spent the entire school day as a zombie (the teacher preferred that and never said a word to me, but the time he was home, his affect was normal.) I returned to my pedicatrician... My Third doctor, current doctor knows what he is taking, he is aware of the violence and did not want to change medications until the evaluation was done. In the mean time, we are seeing such extremes. part of me thinks I should stop all his medications and let him de-tox... maybe what he needs is a fresh start... the other part of me is scared to death of being with him without the medications, he will really hurt himself and possibly others. Why is it that when you tell your doctors that you believe the medications are having an adverse effect they think we do not know what we are talking about... ARGH! The only person who really gets hurt hear is my son. Penny [/QUOTE]
