[QUOTE="debr, post: 277178, member: 7472"] my difficult child will turn 10 friday. she was diagnosed by a child neuroligist as having add & odd. she has been on daytrana 20 mg since she was 7. things had been working well. but lately she has been very oppositional since april. i have started to question the diagnosis. my thoughts have been confirmed by the school psychologist, her teacher that is Special Education qualified and her specail ed teacher. they say that M sits still and listens all day long. she does not move or squirm around. she will not participate unless she is working 1 on 1. even in a small group she will shut down and either answer yes, no or shrug. she seems to try to hide within herself when in a group. when called upon she begins to move her tongue nervously. my opinion and the teachers opinions are that she does not have add but suffers from anxiety. We are scheduled to see her therapist and I am going to request a physch evaluation. For any other people out there what are some medications that are used for anxiety. what are the plus & minus. she also has tantrums the most recent she was sent home from school becuase in gym someone hit her with a ball while playing a game she feels it was intential and lashed out, which she does when she is hurt. the gym teacher tried to grab her and that made things worse. from what little i have read on anxiety tantrums are also part of anxiety any insight would be helpful [/QUOTE]
