[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 701255, member: 1233"] It sounds like he is not actually adhd to me. Generally stimulants do NOT make a child who truly has adhd bounce off walls. It calms them down. When Wiz, my oldest, was little they gave us his first week of adderall as a test - if it calmed him down and he could concentrate, he was adhd. If not, he wasn't. I don't know if it is still considered as black and white, but I would look for solutions other than adhd for him given his reaction to stimulants. FYI, the bedwetting was likely because he slept more deeply than usual due to crashing after the medications wore off. Of course, I don't know if a pediatrician has the experience to prescribe these types of medications. Ours were only given by child psychiatrists or developmental pediatricians (developmental pediatricians deal with things like autism, aspergers, etc... and generally have advanced studies in child psychiatry and developmental disorders - ours was board certified in child psychiatry and developmental pediatrics). The new school sounds amazing and I would definitely get him there as soon as possible! [/QUOTE]
