[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 218959, member: 3184"] I would applaud a pediatrician who told you to take your son to a psychiatrist. There are many disorders that mimic ADHD, and it can be hard to sort out. Your pediatrician is just trying to steer you in the right direction and does not want to delve into territory that he is not familiar enough for. You have gotten good advice from the other members that I don't want to repeat. Sometimes books are better than the web. I would make an appointment with a child psychiatrist, and get some book recomendations from him/her. medication wise, it can take a while to find the right medication. If the side effects (emotional lability) are too much to handle, tell the doctor and try another medication. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
