[QUOTE="MamaLion, post: 494378, member: 13504"] Thanks for the response! Now that I think about it, the meltdowns were happening towards the middle/end of the dosage. We only got up to 5 mg before we started having problems. Medicaid won't pay for one of the long-acting drugs (Focalin is what our pediatrician suggested) until you try the short-term and then appeal. So I guess that's the route we may try now. What is Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)? I did a lot of reading to try to get the hang of the abbreviations here, but I don't know that one. :) My gut tells me that he has ADHD, and something else as well related to anxiety. His dad didn't start getting better til he added zoloft to his adderall. It seems like the diagnosis you get is pre-determined by the specialist you go to...we went to an Occupational Therapist (OT) and got an sensory processing disorder (SPD) diagnosis, and the pediatrician says ADHD, the parenting program said ODD. Ugh. [/QUOTE]
