difficult child had a psychiatrist appointment tonight. We talked a lot about his how impulsive he is. It seems much more ADHDish than his bipolar. We decided we are going to try Strattera (sp?) again. It has been 6 years since we have tried any ADHD medications and he seems much more stable now than he did then.
Every time in the past we have tried any ADHD medications (including Strattera) it was bad news. I didn't think we would go down this route again but it does seem like the right thing to do. He is 14 and still can't sit in a class for more than 5 or 10 minutes.
Please cross your fingers that this doesn't send him into mania or cause him to be violent!! Thanks in advance!
