[QUOTE="buddy, post: 512682, member: 12886"] HI and and thanks for the nice post to me. I will write more later but having a child who also is totally different (of course still issues but managable most of the time) on Concerta I can relate to mornings (before medications) and evenings stinking to high heaven. SO... for use we use a clonidine patch that is changed weekly, now we dont have the level of impulsivity in the morning we usually do and for evenings we use short acting Ritalin until bedtime ... if a late activity then he can have another dose to be able to attend. (it has never hurt his sleep, in fact he can settle down better to eat and sleep ON ritalin/concerta so for us that is not an issue, for many it is).... anyway, both of those are ideas I thought I'd throw out there. ADHD for some kids is not just a school problem. It affects their developing self concept because if they are in trouble all of the time, or in conflict, then how are they supposed to grow up to be happy and confident kids??? And the family system is important. We get worn down and deserve to have some success with our children. Some happiness. If we are not healthy, or at least functioning most of the time, then they wont be doing their best either. I really do hear you... it is really just sad at times. But I never lose hope for long.... I really do believe things can get better. [/QUOTE]
