This is interesting. All kids are so different, and so far for mine even in puberty it is clear the stimulant. medications are working to keep him safe and to have a chance of focusing. In working on our medication situation, our new psychiatrist (who has 3 difficult child's of her own! and just purchased the partial hospital/outpatient program she manages) said they have found that the stimulant. medications that act calming and help a child to focus actually can become much more stimulating and can cause irritation and opposition as a child goes through puberty-and the neurons and chemical changes in the frontal lobe finish developing -thru the mid twenties-. She has been part of lots of research including at Mayo Clinics and specializes in kiddos with multiple diagnosis. She only takes these kids as patients now.
