[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 481857, member: 3419"] Weary, I am so sorry that Star's note hit you so hard and I hope that you are feeling better today. (And that your lip is better.) I have no idea what your son's diagnosis is so I can't comment on medications, except that they have helped our son a lot. (You should be able to see the medications in my profile/signature here.) The first ADHD medication he was on worked within 1/2 hr and instead of screaming and growling, he was having conversations. We didn't try clonidine until a cple yrs later, and that was the first time we'd seen him relaxed and smiling in months! So yes, they can work. For us, they openeded the door to therapy and diet solutions, because they slowed down and calmed our difficult child so he could absorb the information. So the school psychiatric has all the info? Didn't they set up a mtng with-you? I'd be in there in person, every day! by the way, if you haven't yet read The Manipulative Child, or The Out of Sync Child, or The Defiant Child, or The Explosive Child, I recommend them all. I've got lots of these books, and every now and then, I go back and read them, as my son grows up and situations change. [/QUOTE]
