[QUOTE="LoonyAlana, post: 617013, member: 17555"] Thanks for the words of welcome! He's been seeing the same pediatrician since he was about 1½-2 years old. She's just your run-of-the-mill pediatrician, and he also has been seeing a neurologist since about 3½ (ish) years old in addition to the 6 months of play therapy we attended. We tried Adderall (sorry if it's spelled wrong- but basically it's Ritalin) starting around June of 2013 for his ADHD. He took it for about 2-3 months, but reached a point where he no longer wanted to take the medications, so he'd refuse to eat any breakfast at all. The school wasn't happy with him having no breakfast, so we stopped even trying to force the medication in order to get him to eat. At this point, I'm not overjoyed with the neurologist- he barely sees my son at all during the appointments and while I at least have an ADHD diagnosis it just seems like we're spinning our wheels in his office and wasting our time.
