[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 616062, member: 805"] [COLOR=#0000b3]I am sorry things are so bad right now. When my son was diagnosed with ADHD combined/highly impulsive type it took a number of tries before things began to improve - years in total. It was a combination of behavior mod at home, consistent and clear expectations and consequences, controlled bedtime routines for years, a really good BIP, then a 504, and eventual IEP, a switch to adderall, with eventual low doses of remeron (15 and then 30 mg) and seroquel (25 mg), along with weekly talk therapy to begin learning how it felt/how to identify when he was becoming angry and what techniques he could use to self-calm. It was a long time coming and seemingly it took forever, but in the end, worth it. It was a huge struggle from 2nd grade through 5th. Middle school got better and eventually he was tapered off everything but the adhd medications and moved on to high school. He stopped taking the adhd medications his sophomore year. He is a senior this year and has recently gone back on his adhd medications with great success. My son will never be typical, but he is a far cry from the kid who flipped desks and freaked out his classmates…. There will be a light. Sharon [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
