[QUOTE="branbran, post: 85531, member: 3762"] Isn't the medication maze fun?? It is so disheartening to keep trying new medications, getting your hopes up only to be ultimately disappointed. So many times I thought we found that magic bullet, for some reason the first few weeks of the medication trial is like a honeymoon period, everything is so wonderful and then BAM, there goes an episode and then another and another, back to square one. I wish I had a dollar for everytime that has happened to us. It is just so frustrating. I often become very discouraged, I get into the why bother phase and just feel like giving up. Then cooler heads prevail and back to the drawing board we go. We have been going through this for about 5 years now and still are in the experimental stage. Pretty sad huh? I too can't understand why our children continue to repeat the same behaviors and receive the same consequences, it's like they weren't really there the first 100 times they went through it. In my case I really do believe some of my daughter's behavior is just not in her control and she is unable to learn from her mistakes. That just scares the bejeesus out of me!!! Keep knocking on wood, that is great that your son does'nt have any problems in school. As many of us here know, dealing with the school with regards to behavior issues can sometimes be more unbearable than dealing with our difficult children!! Hang in there. [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
