[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 195320, member: 1550"] The diagnosis is very important. Why? Because the wrong medications or not getting interventions for certain problems make our kids worse. Adderall is going to make ANYBODY focus. Kids take stims in college for long nights of studying. If he is still raging and violent at home, I would be thinking he probably has a mood disorder, with your history. Pamelar is an antidepressant. I took it for many years, it has nothing to do with ADHD. I took it for depression. It didn't work that great, about 50%, but I was sensitive to all the old antidepressants before they came out with SSRIs (and I'm sensitive to some of them too). Seroquel is an antipsychotic, agian not a medication for ADHD. Jal, in spite of the diagnosis. I think your doctor is treating your child for a mood disorder. Maybe he thinks you'll be upset if you hear this, but those medications are for mood and rage. First poster, sounds like some rebound effect. Frankly, I'd want a new diagnosis. Lots of mood disordered kids can hold together in school, BUT it is hard so they come home and give it all to us, the ones they trust and know love them. Your child should be doing better than he is. I recommend another opinion and we had great luck with NeuroPsychs. Our neuropsychologist totally disagreed with our psychiatrist, and my son got better after that. Instead of just listening to us and looking at our son for an hour or two, the neuropsychologist did all sorts of evaluations/testing. It was ten hours in all and well worth it. Pinpointed every problem. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
