At the end of the school year Mr. I had been on an increased dose of Concerta. (36mg. up from 27) At the higher dose he had stomach aches, had stopped eating, (and I think growing too) and had periods of spacing out like he was over medicated. I convinced his parents to let me get a lower dose...

Hi there. My daughter was just give a prescription for Concerta. Did anyone have any problems with this drug? Did it work for your child if they took it?

Things continue to be about the same with SS. He acts slightly better at our home every other weekend than he does at his bio mom's, and there is a social worker coming to her home and working with SS a few times a week. It really hasn't made any difference. He has missed 8 days of school...

Jumper wants to start taking Vyvanse again when she starts school because she has a very difficult schedule and has trouble focusing. She never did take it with any consistency because I go to work really early and hub is the only one home when she goes off to school.Both she and hub forget...

easy child/difficult child's psychiatrist is adding a small dose of Intuniv to his Vyvanse. She said it should help with some of the issues he's having. We're going to start him over Christmas break so he has time to get used to it and we can monitor possible side effects. Does anyone here have experience with Intuniv...

My son has had health problems since 13 months. He had his first seizure then. He also has asthma, allergies (gets 2 shots once a week), was recently diagnosed with Aspergers and ODD. I've known for years that there was something "different" about my son. He is 11. The fits started at about...

Help! After a couple of years of heck my 15 yo daughter is diagnosed with a mood disorder not otherwise specified (whatever that means) and is getting treated as a bipolar. She is recently on an IEP at school and the suspensions and police calls have slowed down. But she can't STAND me and I am her trigger for...

Wow, Google led me here when I looked up medication wash, because a friend's daughter was in the hospital for one and I didn't want to sound stupid and ask. But boy, did I need to find this place! I hope my signature does a decent job of telling a bit about us. I struggle quite a bit with my own...

Please let me know if I need to add anything to my siggy (within reason, I'm a bit nervous about this being open to the public). I'm a homeschooling mom and you can see my kids status in my siggy. We got the diagnosis around October so we're still learning, trying to deal with all this. We knew...

We are currently using Vyvance and Tenex with difficult child#1 and it is not working well. He is not putting on weight as he should and the peaks and valleys are VERY rough on everyone. Dr. (dev pediatrician) suggested Strattera and after researching it I am willing to give it a try. But, I want to hear from...

Hi all, I haven't been around in a long time, things have been going so wonderfully for my ds! He is happy, he is not showing ADHD symptoms, no meltdowns/rages/anger issues in months. I mean, I'd call us "normal" right now LOL The only problem is that since starting on Geodon, he has been...

Yeah I am anxious as all get out but I am hoping for the best. Spoke with- psychiatrist at length about switching from Concerta to Vyvanse with no break in between. Also, spoke with- Pharmacist at our local pharmacy at length. I really hate this medication change thing !!! Will let you know how it goes...

That is what difficult child son was yelling at me as a very angry, wet (from the hot tub) came storming down the street. Then difficult child goes to a bush and throws something in it. Apparently difficult child had a lighter and was trying to light the bushes in the mans yard on fire! That was after he ran through the man's...

We have adopted out two granddaughters, who are now 11 and 13. To understand some of the behaviors, I have to give some history. My son married a woman who had drug/alcohol problems, and who already had two children being raised by others. She was pregnant when they met and was using drugs...

difficult child and I spent 2 hours in the evaluating psychologist's office today. In those two hours I had to restrain difficult child twice, put her at parade rest four times (what I use instead of time out, works much better for us... also prompted the psychologist to ask if I was prior military, oops I guess it...

Oldest is 13, diagnosis Jan 2008 with ADHD/ODD. We started on Concerta, and used Melatonin to sleep... Fall 2010 added Stratera with...

Hey everyone. First time poster. Forgive me if this thread was placed in the wrong forum, or if it runs a little long. I'm 28, and I'm not a parent. I'm posting this on behalf of my parents, who are in their early 70's. My parents are raising my 14-year old and 9-year old nephews (their...

Has anyone ever used this. difficult child 2 psychiatrist added this to her current medications. So I am just curious if it works. she just started this week.

My DS 1 is continuing to have issues. He is seeing a therapist now and hopefully next week I can make an appointment with the neuro psychiatric. I have read The Explosive Child and I am trying to use CPS for some of the issues, but there are sooooo many moments where I just want to hang my head and cry in...
