[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 229020, member: 1631"] Each child is so different, I don't even know if I can remember all of the medications difficult child has tried. Ritalin-worked for a bit but started seeing more aggression. Adderall, Concerta, Straterra, Medatate (and any other stimulant or AD I'm forgetting) worked just like the Ritalin. There is no way my son can take stimulants even when he seems stable. This summer he was given some Ritalin by accident at his camp-he put a hole in our bedroom door that day. Tenex-No help Depakote-Helped for awhile-no side affects. Tegratol-No help-made him sick at times. Lithium-No help, sick at times, and made him have to drink water constantly. Also started bedwetting again. Topomax-Helps with his mood and his stomach migraines. I do worry about the cognitive dulling at times. Lamictal-Has been very helpful. Risperdal (sp?)-Only trialed in the hospital-made him way too tired. Seroquel-One of difficult child's worst months ever-Major rages. Abilify-Tardive Dyskensia with-in a couple of days-cannot have ever again. Loxapine-Has been very helpfuil for our son. It is an anti-psychotic but not one that is used much anymore. It has really helped him calm down. Trazadone-worked well for sleep but since it is an AD we got rid of it. Clonidine-Helps with sleep-a lot! Also helps a bit with his ADHD. Hydroxene (sp)-Helps him with ADHD symptoms and sleep. I'm sure I'm fogetting some but that is the most of it. [/QUOTE]
