[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 258080, member: 2423"] Hi there, my son has been on Propranolol since age 10 for migraines. He takes 60 mg Propranolol LA nightly. We consider it his miracle medication because he no longer gets migraines. As Toto indicated, Propranolol is a blood-pressure medication that is also used off-label for stage fright and sometimes anxiety. However, Propranolol did not dent my son's severe anxiety. I have no experience with Amantadine, but I understand it reduces the symptoms of Parkinson's disease and is used off-label in low doses to treat ADHD. I know some kids in the bpkids support groups have used Amantadine with good success. Is Abilify working? If so, I wouldn't discontinue it because of weight gain, especially since your difficult child is so hard to medicate. Instead, I'd consider adding either Topamax, Zonegran or Metformin to suppress appetite. [/QUOTE]
