[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 109802, member: 2423"] Jamie, welcome. I'm glad you found us. Since Adderall XR is making your difficult child's behavior worse, I'm guessing it's the wrong medication for him. medications are a trial and error process so the first one you try might not be the one that works. In addition, stimulants like Adderall can cause hallucinations so this is a symptom you definitely should talk to his doctor about. Furthermore, stimulants can exacerbate anxiety and cause depression so you may need to look at the mood piece first before you go after the ADHD symptoms. Is he seeing a child psychiatrist for medication management? If not, I'd strongly encourage you to make an appointment with one ASAP. You say your difficult child has an IEP. What specific services and accommodations are provided in it? If you don't think the IEP is working as written, you might want to post over in Special Education 101 with more specifics. The moderators Martie and Sheila really know their stuff so I'm sure they will be helpful to you. Again, welcome. Because of the holiday, it may be slow on the board in the next few days. But others will be along to welcome you and offer their support. [/QUOTE]
