[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 320871, member: 3444"] PA, welcome! He may not at the right dosage for his medications, and he may not even be on the right medications. Without knowing what he's taking, it's hard to say. I do know that it is often a VERY lengthy process to figure out what are the right medications are. My difficult child 2 was initially diagnosis'd ADHD when he was 5, and the bipolar diagnosis was just finally confirmed this year and he's nearly 13. The bipolar became truly clear about two years ago, but because our psychiatrist wanted to be absolutely certain, he hesistated giving the official diagnosis. He did still continue to treat the symptoms as if they were bipolar, and difficult child 2 is doing much better now. It's not perfect, but it's better. Does your son have an IEP at school? Does he see a therapist? Have you read the book "The Explosive Child?" I look forward to learning more about your situation. [/QUOTE]
