[QUOTE="jal, post: 195274, member: 3477"] My difficult child has severe ADHD with-a mood component and our house was a lot like yours. My difficult child cannot handle any type of stimulant it makes him more agitated, defiant and off the wall. My child too is a jeckyl and hyde. I went to that clinic when difficult child was around 3.5 yrs of age (this all started at age 2). At that time they said well difficult child is so young, it could be this, that or any multitude of things, but we'll work with you to handle him. Well, we had been working with other people for tips and tactis and NOTHING worked. I never went back there (didn't have anything to do with-the program, I just felt they couldn't help us at his age). I had an in home behaviorists, tried play therapy and nothing until I got connected with-a great psychiatrist. I went the neuropsychologist testing route too. It just agreed with the psychiatrist diagnosis. Our difficult child spent 3 weeks in psychiatric hospital this summer and we washed the medications and started again. He is on an older class of medications they used to treat ADHD with-before all the stims came out - he has responded beautifully. He has been home for 3 plus weeks and has really been a pleasure to be around. Could it be your difficult child can't handle stims? [/QUOTE]
