[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 255535, member: 1233"] I think it is more directions for what to expect to have to do based on difficult child's age, weight and reactions to other medications. If it is working at the lower amount, then there is not a reason to increase it. But the doctor expects you to need to increase it. Adderall was WONDERFUL for Wiz. We used it to deal with the time the concerta wore off. Wiz had TONS of anxiety, and lots of it was due to extremely overactive imagination and not totally being able to tell the diff between reality and imagination. His imagination is TOO realistic. We did NOT have ANY problems with Adderall, concerta or strattera increasing his anxiety. Actually the strattera works with his luvox to tame his anxiety - it is at a level he can manage it. So maybe your difficult child will have some luck with this. I honestly think the family dynamic is responsible for a LOT of your son's problems. He sees his father and older brother treating you horribly, you accept this and even feed into it by not standing up and refusing to be treated that way. You beg for their love and affection and your son has learned that if HE asks for affection this way he will be treated like you are. He doesn't want that, but needs to feel he is cared for and important, so his anxiety and fears create the health problems. I am sorry. I know this is HARD to hear. But I just want to be honest and say that NO medicine is going to make this better until the family dynamic, esp the way needs for love, caring and affection are treated, and the way YOU are treated, are changed to a healthier pattern. Even if that meant you left and visited difficult child or took him with you so HE wouldn't be treated the way you are. Whatever it takes, if you want to make your difficult child better you are going to HAVE to find the strength and courage to address the way YOU are treated by husband and "easy child" and even difficult child. I hope that is not offensive, I really want you to know I support you and know this is VERY hard to change. [/QUOTE]
