[QUOTE="LAJA, post: 489995, member: 13410"] Thanks for responding!! My daughter has an awesome active father and mother. We added a 2nd child who is now almost 11 months old. My daughter is now 17 yrs old who has the mental issues. She is junior in high school. She does have an IEP that has been helpful since 4th grade. The behaviors where first discovered in pre-school and by the time she started kindergarten I had put her on Adderall and behavioral counseling. Must of the problem back then was that she was extremely hyper active, couldn't focus, and was extremely defiant. A year later we added Risperdal to the equation then by 5 or 6th grade we switched the stimulant to Concerta and added Stattera and continued the Risperdal. We had issues with counseling so we switched doctors a few times with having to stop and start sessions for periods of time. The medications worked 50 to 60% of the time. As she has gotten older her behaviors seem to be more manic and extremely defiant. Much of her behavior seems to stem for her inability to control her emotions. Her grades are suffering. We stopped medications and counseling two years ago because she kept refusing to take the medications. The counseling was helping her to open up to us and for her to evaluate the choices she had been making but she continued to make the wrong choices that was causing our family to go through one extreme of problems to the next extreme to the next extreme.
