[QUOTE="scaredofhim, post: 619752, member: 17051"] Saturday we met bio mom at the psychiatrist's off for SS's appointment. He only sees him once a month, and I really don't think that is enough to do any good. Anyway the dr. did not talk to SS alone at all, just had us all in the office at once. He tried to talk to SS but SS didn't interact with him much. Most of the appointment. consisted of bio mom telling the dr. about how rough her life is because SS gives her a hard time about going to school, his rages, violence, lack of hygiene, bad grades, etc. One big issue is SS is tired all the time and sleeps a lot....when he isn't on the video games, he sleeps. Bio mom is concerned about the fatigue. There isn't a medical cause for it, the psychiatrist has run many tests and they have all been normal. He does have ADD (not ADHD as originally diagnosed) but this psychiatrist took him off Vyvanse because it was aggravating the aggression and violence. But he is falling asleep at school and not doing his work so the dr. put him on a low dose of Concerta to see if it will help his attention span and the sleepiness. husband expressed his concern about the Concerta aggravating his aggression and his bipolar even though it is a low dose but dr. didn't seem overly concerned about it and said if it causes a problem he will take him off it. Saturday morning before the appointment, bio mom texted and said SS was refusing to get up to go to the appointment. I told husband and he called her and she started screaming at husband and he couldn't get a word in edgewise so he told SS on speakphone to get ready to leave for the dr. and hung up.
