[QUOTE="Jensbee, post: 410276, member: 11271"] Hi. Thanks so much for the replies. He currently sees our pediatrician and a psychologist (for talk therapy only). The pediatrician diagnosed conduct disorder and adhd after testing. Right now he is taking concerta and zoloft but the dr is thinking about adding a new one called topamax to help with his aggressiveness. Has anyone heard of an 11 yo taking a combo of three medications??? With this recent school incident he refered us to a pychiatrist but our appointment isn't until april. What is a neuropsychologist? Yes he has had an IEP for years now. Currently we are working on getting him into a behavioral school/Special Education school (not residential) but the paperwork and redtape is unbeleivable so there will be a wait. I wanted him in this school previously but was told that he didn't need that intensive of a setting and they would not fund it. I argued for it and look where we are now. ugh. Any advice on how to deal with all the runaround and back and forth from parents experienenced in this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all. [/QUOTE]
