[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 507668, member: 3419"] I am so sorry for everything you are going through. Does he have a driver's lic? THat's a good carrot-and-stick approach for most kids. Just take away the keys. I have never heard of the medication you mentioned. I have heard of the stimulants, though. Too late now, but as the others mentioned, there is something else going on. The stims are only part of the picture. He seems to need a mood stabilizer, but you are right--it he is drinking or doing drugs, the other medications won't help. I would find something that he really likes to do and really hold it over his head until he graduates or gets his diploma. Having a tutor is a good idea. I would also ask which teachers can stay after school with-him. Clearly, he can do the work and he has a brain. Many hugs. [/QUOTE]
