[QUOTE="klmno, post: 221191, member: 3699"] My difficult child's behaviors might not apply to anyone else- it's just that he was not a difficult child before reaching 11yo, or very close to that. He did have asthmatic wheezing as an infant until almost 5yo, however. Albuterol and steroids that were used to treat it brought out different behavior in him, even as an infant. Then, after that time period, he was allowed to use antihistamines to treat allergies and prevent wheezing, but I always noticed that they made him hyper and anxious, whereas I guess in some people, it makes them drowsy. Anyway, I can't swear that it isn't just coincidence, but my difficult child's "difficult child behavior" is primarily in late winter/early spring and secondarily in the fall. These are the same period that he used to have wheezing and the same periods that now he suffers allergies- and then I started paying attention to what I was using to treat the allergies. In the fall, my son is primarily depressive and irritable and can get disruptive if that is not sympathized. In late winter/early spring, it is like he loses it - it appears to be mania. But, in these times is when he seems to exhibbit signs of anxiety and somewhat Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) behavior also. psychiatrist said allergy medications cannot cause this- the pediatrician says it can.
