[QUOTE="Bugsy, post: 18180, member: 1680"] It has a been a long while. My son is almost 6 and has been diagnosis with a mood disorder. After 2 1/2 years we have gotten him more stable using seroqel. Now we are trying to address some attention issues. We started Focalin (2.5am, 2.5noon). So far I think the only effect is he seems more active. He has not seemed quite this energetic in a while. Has anyone experienced this causing more energy? Noone can seem to decide if he is ADD/ADHD or not. He can attend well to stories being read, while the class is doing an activity, walking in the hall, basically all structured activities. The problem is he can not do ANY task by himself even though he is cognitively very bright (IQ 132). He can not play puzzles, build blocks, watch tv, color...NOTHING. He needs the teacher close by him to help him complete a task. He talks constantly, walks around looking for stuff, cannot settle down to play anything. Any thoughts appreciated.
