Hi Raelene,
I can sympathize with you. As for advice or help..my son is 5 and we have tried a number of things. One that really seemed to help is B'calmd which is an amino acid supplement with b vitamin and riboflavin. I know I spelled the b'calmd wrong because it is a weird spelling, I can get the correct spelling if you are interested.
Anyway, Dr Phil had a show about it that a coworker saw and we really did see vast improvement and then we introduced a fish oil supplement along with homeopathic remedies. The remedies have seemed to make things worse and our naturalpath has taken Evan off of the b'calmd. His preschool actually said he was much better when on the becalm'd.
I am surprised that your psychologist is recommending a certain drug, I was under the impression that only a psychiatrist or doctor could medicate. My difficult child's pediatrician wants to medicate since last year and the psychologist who we saw for three visits for help with behvior mod was pushing us towards a pschiatric evaluation with medications.
Good luck!
Suzanne
