[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 158662, member: 3419"] Hi Sintori, welcome. Here's a cup of tea ... Sounds like the medications worked but/and you could try a diff medication this time around. In addition to ADHD, your daughter may also have allergy issues, which could contribute to her wetting and bowel movement issues. She clearly knows she's supposed to sit on the toilet or she wouldn't be in there to begin with, so it may be a combination of her really needing to go and her impulsivity, immaturity and sensory issues. You mentioned that she was depressed if she didn't eat enough at breakfast, which is a good obsevation (I'm thinking hypoglycemia) but since you took her off the medications, it may have been a rebound effect, as well. I don't have a good idea of the time frame. Can you take her for a physical b4 the next therapist appointment and run blood tests and talk to the dr about the issues? I'm often surprised at the insights some pediatricians come up with. Also, they can prescribe medications. I am confused as to how her previous psychologist could have prescribed Focalin, unless you meant to say s/he was a psychiatrist. We are very good at making sure our son's child psychiatric and pediatrician communicate and have info so there are no missing pieces. I know your daughter must wear you out. You are wise to stay on top of things and help her out, because some of this can be outgrown and some cannot. Did you ask her why she smeared feces in the bathroom? Did she just really have to go? Was she playing? Angry? I'm wondering if drinking fluids to the point of nausea is just part of the impulsivity or if it's something more. It will help once you get a good diagnosis. Take care.
