[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 312667, member: 1550"] I agree with smallmom totally. Also, if the child is aggressive and suicidal in my opinion Adderrall is a very poor doctor decision. Adderrall is far more apt to make him worse than to calm him down. I would really, really think hard before putting him on ANY stimulant. If he has a mood disorder and maybe the ADHD is a misdiagnosis, you have a mess. My own mellow son got angry and aggressive on Adderrall. It lasted two days before I could see that it was not a good thing, at least for him. You may want to get a second opinion on his diagnosis AND his treatment. Do you have any mood disorders on your family tree? Any mental health issues at all on either side, your side and her biological father's side? His side counts too because he contributed fifty percent of her genes, and things are inherited. Any substance abuse in her family tree, which again includes bio. dad? Good luck, whatever you decide to do and welcome to the board :happy: [/QUOTE]
