[QUOTE="EB67, post: 52681, member: 3750"] Hi there- My feeling is that the crying / hyperventilating may be a reaction to feeling crticized by the teacher or osticized by the friend. I think he may have reacted emotionally because he was reacting to being isolated as "the bad guy"-- the one who needs to be isolated from his friend. This seems a legitimate reason to be upset-- all medication and mood issues aside. I want to share a few observations with you that might put your situation with your difficult child into perspective. My Seb has been on Daytrana 10 mg for about a month now. We were meant to titrate up to 15mg, but 10 was quite effective and we stayed there. Seb has done VERY well on Daytrana-- his behavior has been exemplary in class according t his teacher, he has been more focused, though not altogether more productive in his writing work. He did have a few especially emotional days and some tears about peer issues. I immediately wondered if it was a reaction to the Daytrana as I found that his moods ran amock when he was on Adderall XR. It is hard to know what you are looking at sometimes! Was it a medication reaction? Related to mood regulation problems? The normal byproduct of the pain of being a kid???? I'll never know for sure. Seb's emotional patch was over kids making fun of him for practicing the sport of fencing. The kids were laughing, saying it wasn't a real sport... all the while Seb urged them to see that it was an Olymic sport that has been practiced historically for many years... This prompted Seb to come home and CRY HYSTERICALLY about how he's different, about how all of the kids at school are the same, how they like the same things, how he'll never fit in, how nobody understands him... Crying, hyperventilating... And then it stopped. And he's been normal ever since. A happy going, normal guy. But like your difficult child, I highly suspect that Seb is Cyclothymic. And for that matter, I suspect that I am too. So as you know, the moods can fluxuate and then seem fairly normal for a while. I think there has been a lot of unpeaval in your world this week. Give the Daytrana a little more time and see what his mood is like. [/QUOTE]
