[QUOTE="Methuselah, post: 491904, member: 12725"] Im sorry your family is going through this. I'm the last that should offer advice, but... Screamo felt ADHD medications muted his personality, too. Because he is drug and alcohol free and willing to work on getting off medications, we spent a summer developing coping skills so he could get off of them. That was two years ago. If he had asked to do it before that, I would have discouraged him, because he wasn't ready to put in the work. I don't think the issue with your son is ADHD medications; I think it is the drugs and alcohol. :-( You may wan to post on the teens and substance abuse board. They may have more answers for you. Could his old JrROTC leader or boss talk to him? They may be able to get through to him, since they are adults but not his parents. difficult children tend to shut out the ones who care about them most. Good luck. Again I'm sorry you are going through this. [/QUOTE]
