[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 298020"] Hi and welcome! I'm so glad someone mentioned the Vitamin D3. We recently put our daughter on this vitamin and sometimes she forgets to take it. It's only a subtle difference, but it is there. She is happier when she takes it. It is THAT fast. I'm not sure what the dosage would be for a child...you might ask at the health food store. Some people just take half of what an adult might take. I do think it is a very worthwhile vitamin. Years ago, she did take Fish Oil...but I don't believe we got much result from it. However, she only took it for a few weeks consistently, then she took it for about a month inconsistently. She said it caused her to burp and refused to cope with it any longer. I myself take Carlson Fish Oil, my husband takes Walgreens Brand that he feels has a good ratio and neither one of us have had problems. We take it at night. The Bipolar Child book by Dr. Papolos strongly encourages the use of Fish Oil. I understand it is beneficial for ADHD as well. Over the years, I've heard many say that it does seem to help with- both disorders (as well as other health needs). Lots of folks have their favorite brans...one popular one is called Omega3. How old is your son? Sooooo glad that the Total Transformation program is helping! We did this program called 123 Magic (there is a book and a tape) witn our young difficult child and it was very helpful. Someone mentioned some good books that might supplement what you are already doing. If you are interested, perhaps you can post more information about the typical teen program. We have found that our daughter's medications often help her relatively quickly. However, she has never taken the medication you have mentioned....so I can not address this specifically. I would think if you don't see improvements in three weeks, it would be time to call the Dr. Of course, if your child worsens, then I would call right away. You might want to consider the different modes of therapy out there...depending on the age of your child and your family dynamics, etc. Our child went to individual therapy and especially during her pre teen and teen years, this was very helpful. There were periods, that I think Family Therapy may have been good too. Family Therapy might be helpful in getting this "abusiveness" you mentioned under better control. Additionally, it is something that has to be addressed with his physician and needs to be taken seriously. PLEASE be sure to protect his sister at all costs...protect her physically and emotionally. Be very cautious. Please take a little time for yourself when and where you are able...this stuff can be draining...as I'm sure you've already discovered. [/QUOTE]
