[QUOTE="Wishing, post: 92860, member: 1782"] For us adderall did not work. He was very jittery and his skin color changed to a pale grayish caste. At eight we had him on ritalin and after awhile at 9 years old we had added clonidine and this we used for the anger. The ritalin helped with attention to detail. After about 6 months we saw a child psychiatrist and he ordered zyprexa and concerta(long acting ritalin) He gained a lot of weight on the zyprexa. It did even him out moodwise I would not recommend it d/t severe wt gain. Now we are on(16 yo) straight ritalin and resperidol for irritability. We had been on abilify previous to this,but after awhile it wasn't effective for the irritability. We tried focalin and this was very good(it is a ritalin prep)It was very good but he required a high dose and my insurance did not cover it.I am not sure about atypical antipsychotics(zyprexa,resperidol and abilify) and the age and weight requirements they have to be b4 being prescribed.
