[QUOTE="DDD, post: 249491, member: 35"] I would absolutely not let the teacher or school personnel try to dictate the medical care for my child. They (and I don't really blame them as their job is getting more stressful every year!) often get carried away in their efforts to get their classrooms under control. Regarding tics......if your child is on a stimulant he has the advantage of being free to go off pronto in most cases. Call the MD and make sure it is OK to just stop giving the medication until your appointment. I would [B]push [/B]for an appointment asap. The choice of medication varies from person to person as there are not consistent results. For example, we had problems with Adderal almost immediately when trying it with both boys. Many people here love that same medication because it works well for their family member. We had great results from Ritalin..until tics appeared. The psychiatrist had us add Tenex daily and the tics disappeared. That worked for us (not for everyone) and then finally we ended up with for a number of years. Vyvanse works like a charm for my youngest grandchild. My advise is to make sure you have a qualified medical professional in charge of diagnosis. and medications. Absolutely do not let the school pressure you regarding the treatment plan. Stay calm. Listen closely. Tell the teacher you appreciate her interest and you'll get back to her after seeing your physician. Good luck. DDD [/QUOTE]
