[QUOTE="uncheerleader, post: 124642, member: 4658"] We have a 19yo ADD, with depression as well as intermittent bouts of unprovoked rage. (not physically violent just feelings and thoughts). He's on lexapro for depression adderal xr for ADD and Lamictal for mood swings (rage). This keeps him semi stable. He barely made it through HS and took one summer class at Jr. College, B+, but couldn't handle F\T college, dropped out. He's VERY bright too!! This seems to make it so much more frustrating because they all have so much potential!! We keep hoping he'll mature. No matter what you choose, it will not be easy. Just do what you think he'll be able to handle, but let him know that he needs to tell you if it's not working and that you will love him no matter what (one thing we were a little slow to figure out). No matter the out come be confident that you are making the best decision you can. If it doesn't work out, don't kick yourself, just try something else and go on from there. I've read that the male brain doesn't fully mature until about age 23 :speechless: AAAAAHHHHH!!! I don't think I can wait that long. One of my montra's is Dori's: "Just keep swimmin', just keep swimmin', just keep swimmin', swimmin', swimmin'" [/QUOTE]
