[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 428955, member: 2322"] Hi--we ended up having to give our child an afternoon dose of Adderall because of the rebound effect. Though after we got him onto Lamictal the blowouts seemed to diminish since he wasn't so irritable all the time. Also Risperdal in the late afternoon helped. What seemed to provoke a lot of the blowouts was our trying to get him to do too much, and then denying him privileges. LIke doing homework at home or no TV. When we let go of some of the homework battles, the blowouts seemed to diminish. But really for him it was the correct cocktail of medications that seemed to turn things around alot. Though not completely. But that's another story. as for other child, Strattera and Tenex were not good. At all. Abilify helped for a while with both focus and moods. What we have learned with him is to be very black and white. Write down the list of exactly what he has to do each night to get TV privileges and keep to the same general schedule. Sounds simple but took us a long time to learn it. There was a news post recently about emotional dysregulation. I think many of our children suffer from that. They just lack the capacity to regulate their moods and over react to everything. I think with the kind of low emotion calm reactions you are modeling that you will make progress over time. Slow, but progress none the less. [/QUOTE]
