[QUOTE="graceupongrace, post: 291754, member: 7371"] Mandy, As Christy said, growth definitely can be a factor. The medication dosages are based on body mass, so as kids grow, they can "outgrow" their dosages. As they reach adolescence, hormonal factors have an impact. We've also found that the symptoms and the diagnosis can evolve over time. This is definitely a journey. Sometimes it's a rollercoaster ride. (Pick your metaphor! :raspberry-tounge:) [I][COLOR=Blue]I try to ask him after the fact why he got so angry and he doesn't seem to be able to answer. [/COLOR][/I] [COLOR=Black]Many of our kids can't tell us why they got angry. They honestly don't know. My difficult child is particularly short on insight and long on blame. Consequently I've found that I get a better response when I [/COLOR]ask it this way: [I]"What made you so angry?" [/I] If you're not already keeping a behavior log, I'd recommend it. It can be useful to you and your doctor in identifying triggers. Good luck with the Dr. appointment. [/QUOTE]
