[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 285791, member: 1233"] Wiz spent about five or six years doing this. He even did it all night in his sleep, though it didn't seem to disturb his rest. Will he play the Quiet Game where on count of 3 everyone has to stop talking and the first one who talks loses? This used to give us a tiny window of not hearing him babble. The antidepressants like strattera can cause mania in some children. If the stimulant calms him then he truly is ADHD, but if it doesn't then something else is going on. I was never really happy with Strattera as it applies to moods. It is a SNRI and those are truly tough to properly prescribe, in my humble opinion. (I do have a child on strattera but he always needs more than one antidepressant so it works well that way as well as also with his ADHD type problems.) Many times, esp in our sons, these medications trigger problems a few months after the child starts taking them. I have seem it firsthand with many AD's and also in other board members' difficult children. You need to call the psychiatrist. This will interfere with difficult child's ability to function in any group situation, so changing this should be fairly important. Noise cancelling headphones and/or earplugs are a real blessing.
