[QUOTE="Serenity Now, post: 77577, member: 4092"] Hi, I too take zoloft for anxiety and also find that it doesn't always work when Sarah is having a bad day. I also occasionally take xanax to sleep at night when I am really anxious. That seems to really help and talking to my wonderful husband and my 11 year old son. You can't do this alone, you need a really good support group to help you. I spoke with Sarah's Dev pediatrician. from CHOP today, he told me that just because she does not display these symtoms at school does not mean she is not ADHD/ODD/Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). He explained that in preschool they are having 2 1/2 hours of pure fun. The task that are asked of them are put in a fun way. They do playdough, paint, color, draw, dressup, go to the playground and basically jump around all day. So he is not surprised that Sarah can have a good day at school and come home frantic and ruin many weekends at home. He suggested that we start giving her Aderall EX on the weekends and if that works then he will give her a medicine for when she comes home from school that wears off in about 4 hours. I am soo releaved to find that she is not the only one to be able to pull a 360 at school. I thought it was me and I know what you mean about feeling like you are an inadequate mother. Do you know how many times I wanted to call Super Nanny? As others have said as she gets older and more is demanded of her at school, then the teachers will finally realize what I go thru at home. He said this weeekend dosage should give us a good idea of how she will react and when the time comes it may be continued throughout the week also. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
