[QUOTE="lost soul, post: 505314, member: 13803"] Thank you for the advice. He has always had certain issues that his grade school teachers suggested we look into ADD. The psychologist I took him to for night terrors discouraged me from testing him, saying he was just immature and would grow out of it. He used to be on the honor roll in grade school and middle school, and did well in highschool. He started getting concerned his senior year that college was going to be a problem due to his "getting off task"(that's how he describes it). Saying no matter what he did or what he tried, concentrating on the teacher was hard for him. He has always been difficult to wake up. We thought he would grow out of that, but no luck there. He uses multiple alarm clocks, but that doesn't always work. He is honest with me and our doctor that he has used pot. He knows I do not approve of that and I tell him it counteracts the medications. The doctor drug tested him just to rule that out for his sleep problem and weight loss. Adderall was changed to Vvynase. Still increasing the doses. Have only increased once, going to ask for another increase. The more I try to keep involved and keep tabs on him, the more angry he gets with me and the further he pushes away from me. Trying to walk the fine line between being a good concerned involved parent and the over bearing smothering hovering parent. He has signed papers at the college for me to keep informed and I try to attend doctor visits when I'm not working. I am also the one that contacts the office for and fills scripts. [/QUOTE]
