This morning, at 9am, I gave Carson his second dose of Focalin (umm, expensive medicine). An hour and a half later he went BESERK.
He was banging his PSP3 controller into the wall--leaving a hole. Because he wasn't doing well at his game. He was screaming and then crying. Hard to console.
Later he picked the PSP3 unit up and slammed it onto the floor... angry with his sister.
Less than an hour later he attacked his younger brother (6). His sister (10) had to hit Carson with a hairbrush to get Carson off of his brother. This was because Caden (6) was "making too much noise".
I wasn't around for any of these outbursts. The kids were at their Dad's house and he was at work. Their StepMother was in charge. Last year Carson came to live with me full time because his StepMother couldn't handle him during Dad's parenting time when Dad was at work. But I don't think it had anything to do with her inability to control Carson.
I KNOW it is the medications. He hasn't been acting like this AT ALL. Again, I wasn't there, but my 10 year old was appalled that Carson could/did act this way. And she spends 3-4 days a week with him.
I am just so discouraged.
Carson has been on Adderall, Ritlin, Concerta, Daytrana, Straterra, Metadate...I feel like I'm forgetting one or two... I'm so defeated. And tired. I just want my boy to be all right.
