[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 518805, member: 455"] california, I can understand your point about being scared away after the adderall experience. My oldest, many years ago was put on that (though not the first one tried) and it too made her psychotic and very aggressive. I can tell you that with 3 difficult children we've been on, I think, every kind there is out there with at least one of them. It's finding the right one for the individual child. It is scary but I learned long ago after not wanting my kids on them that it did help and without it the kids suffered in many ways. Socially, academically, etc. It is a personal choice I do understand but sometimes behavior therapy might not be the only thing that will help, especially going into middle school where the issues will be a whole lot more to have to handle then a big adjustment academically (class structure changes, timing, expectations) but also the social issues begin to ramp up and then of course hormones. Just something to think about. I was just wondering out loud if there were some additional supports for you and them. This way it may not be so overwhelming. Some areas have more to offer then others and it's usually a matter of checking into it, asking around, asking those in the area, or even connecting with other people online who live in the area that might know (like perhaps support groups local to the area that might be able to steer you towards information). Anything that might help you not get so overwhelmed in the long run helps them and keeps your ex off your back and gives him no reason to make the statements he makes. [/QUOTE]
