[QUOTE="answeredprayer, post: 217498, member: 6422"] No, I would not categorize his outbursts as rage, and the problem has been coming on since his dad married a year or so ago. A little after this time he was started on Strattera, which is a non-stimulant, and he was before and after the Strattera starting to display signs of anger. Since being on Concerta he is a perfect Angel at school. The teacher say he is like a new kid and his IEP was even down graded. LOL, even writing about the situation here and seeing it on paper is making things more obvious for me. I see him mostly get frustrated when faced with a demand on himself. Such as getting ready for school in the morning on a weekday versus getting up on his own accord on a weekend. I have to say this, I had 3 Dr's opinions on my son before I would except the ADHD diagnosis...I wasn't going to have him treated for something he did not have. As far as "psychiatric" cases on either side of his family tree...I have anxiety and my mother does as well. His father and his fathers mother both have ADD/ADHD and dyslexia. There is substance abuse on both sides of the family..my brothers and father and his dads siblings. My son was born very ill. He was in the hospital in the nicu for 5 days after his birth. He had a failing heartbeat during delivery (a 22 hour ordeal) and swallowed much fluid and was not breathing. It was determined once he was born that he was within days of being a month overdue, sad thing is that I had been having contractions that long and going to the hospital, only to be given medications to stop the contractions and being sent home because I was not near the designated due date. I had apparently had a cycle for a month or so after being pregnant, which threw off the due date. he was 8lbs, 1oz, and has been pretty healthy ever since.
