[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 571561, member: 1514"] Well hello. I dont know exactly what diagnosis your kids have or who did the diagnosing but if you are fairly new to this and these are the first medications your kids have tried, well take heart...all is not lost. You are not doomed to a life with two screaming brats. I would try getting them seen by either a neuropsychologist or a full workup at a children's hospital for a multi-disciplinary evaluation. That why you will get a much clearer picture of exactly why your kids are behaving the way they are. The medications that they were prescribed might not be the right ones for whatever is wrong...or it might not be the right dose. Intuniv is sometimes used for ADHD but it is an odd one to use right off the bat unless there is a reason Im not aware of and there are lots of stimulants other than concerta to try. They all dont react the same way in the same person. And just because someone looks like they have ADHD doesnt mean they have ADHD. Thats where getting the full neuropsychologist or multi-disciplinary evaluation comes in. Dont write off your entire future just yet. Do some more digging and I think you will find out life can be smoother for all of you. [/QUOTE]
