[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 11033, member: 2322"] Janna, This is my experience--one kid reacted extremely well to stimulants (the one more likely to be bipolar). The other one bombed on all of them. I would venture to guess that if one made him zombie it sounds like e it was "working" just not doing what the teacher wanted it to. We have been playing around with my son's dose of Adderall (either 5 or 10 mg XR) and the 5 works pretty well, 10 seems like to much--a bit too zombie like). I suspect that Adderall will have a similar effect, but not solve the teacher's problem and will likely make him comatose. Is the blood pressure medicine he is on anything like tenex or clonidine? Those are often prescribed to deal with implusiveness, hyperactivity. (Didn't help my impulsive difficult child#2, only abilify did). Anyway, good luck on the medication trial, at least the stimulant ones are short and to the point. It is not clear from your post as to whether the problem is only at school. If you don't have a problem, then I would definitely suspect the teacher. [/QUOTE]
