Sorry, I have to gripe. difficult child is being a jerk lately. Grumpy, grumpy, grumpy. He has been staying up way too late watching videos. Supposedly, he's listening to music with-these huge headphones, but when I see images on the screen that are clearly not playlists, he has to turn it off. Which turns...

So today's day 4 of the new medications for difficult child, this weekend we noticed some improved behavior, in fact I thought it was ALOT of improved behavior. But today's the real test as it's her first day back at school ( I really didn't count Friday, as that was the first day and I thought that was way to...

Decided to give difficult child's girlfriend's mom a break from chauffeuring, so I picked up the kids from school to take them to a movie (difficult child got passes for his birthday). Texted difficult child and all was fine, listened to carols on the way, and was happy, happy, happy, singing along to Dionne Warwick. Until I got to school...

My daughter has been prescribed clonidine to help with impulsivity, hyperness and general aggression. She has attention issues too, and i know this drug is not as affective for attention. She has epilepsy though so this was considered the best drug to try even though it is not a first line drug...

My 8 year old has been diagnosis with ODD/ADHD. the last year and a half has been nothing short of horrible. She's been on a number of different medications, and nothing is helping. She can't take stimulants, so she's taking strattrea for the ADHD, also depakote and clonidine for aggression. And just came off...

I've been lurking on the forum for a week or so now, reading and learning. I thought it was time to introduce myself; the forum has already proved to be a huge help in our ongoing struggle to find effective treatment for our difficult child. I'm a divorced and re-married (not officially yet, lol) single...

For those of you that remember me-I posted Mommy wants to cry. My 3 1/2 year old difficult child was put on Clonidine 0.025 mg @ 1 ml at bedtime. That started Tuesday night. I gave him 1 ml tuesday night and he slept all night and A LOT of Wednesday. On Wednesday night I figured 1 ml was too much so I gave...

My son is almost 4, was recently diagnosed with ADHD and Sensory Processing Disorder (SMD sensory seeking) and has been prescribed Kapvay 0.1 mg. We started out giving it to him at night because we knew it would make him drowsy. After about a month of doing that we thought we would move up...

What do you all do to deal with the constant blame that your difficult child puts on you? My difficult child blames me for lost glasses, lost socks, fish that die, his slipping down the stairs, not having the cereal he wants, his not being ready for things on time, etc. It is endless and exhausting. I walk away...

difficult child's girlfriend is out of town at her dad's house. (Parents are divorced.) Every time one of them goes out of town, they get in a big fight. They don't know how to deal with-it. Last night I woke up at 1 a.m. and found difficult child in the LR SHOUTING, "f-this, f-that, you hurt me more than anyone has in my whole...

So is tenex a quick acting medication? If not how long to see results? Just curious.

difficult child has had his permit for 3 weeks now. We are all still alive. No dents on the car. Two bottles of wine sipped and slurped by moi. Only one argument from difficult child, which earned him a week with no driving. Mostly back roads, but yesterday went 9 miles and did 10 signal lights. He loves having me...

I haven't posted here in a while. We took my son to the cardiologist just to make sure he could take an adhd medication called procentra. My son is 11 totally non verbal autistic. The dr. said it was ok for him to take the medication. We started out at 2mls in the am and 2mls after lunch. This medication did...

Now he is walking up the stairs to make sure I hear it louder and louder. He heard someone outside and decided to start saying I needed to unlock the new locks I put in. So he was at the computer saying , "come on do the lock" now he has said it at least 100 times and is getting closer and...

He thought it was his lithium, so I spoke with-the pharmacist, who said, yes, it could be ... what is his blood level? Oops. I made an appointment. for Friday. Meanwhile, I'm going to call the dr and see if we can break the pills in half or get a 150 mg called in. Sigh. It was going so well, I was even...

My son was officially Diagnosed with ADHD combined and ODD. He is 6 years old. I am a single mother and I am just really burnt out. He was on Tenex and Clonidine and Meletonin, Which helped him calm down his behavior a lot, he was still very active and had meltdowns, but they decreased...

So we started difficult child son on propanolol a couple weeks ago, started at 5mg twice a day for a week and just bumped up to 10mg twice a day starting last night and this morning. I really hope what I am seeing today is a result of the medication and not just a good day. Once his medications were in his system, he...

I feel like crying this morning because I am so, so, so tired and annoyed. Cooper was up all night off and on. At first he cried his legs hurt, then he was thirsty, then his legs again...over and over. He woke up like 15 times to come get in my bed, I took him back to bed, he comes back. Last...

Please inform me if I am wrong here about the age and tantrums. I opened the car door not knowing he had a bag of popcorn leaning against it and the Popcorn fell on the floor spilling out most of it. He yelled at me that he told me to wait but I honestly did not hear him say that or anything...
