[QUOTE="Exhausted74, post: 198422, member: 5979"] Well, I knew he had adhd when he was 3-4 yrs. old. I knew he was different than my other 2 at 8 months. I didnt want him on medications at all, and I made that quite clear to the school, dr. until nothing else worked, no matter what I tried. Should get the referral for the nuero dr. hopefully this week. As far as his medications go and the DR. This DR. is excellent! We've gone through a few since Kindergarden. The last dr. about 2 yrs ago.. he just made him a zombie and that wasnt working for me at all. This DR. actually talks to us, listens,offers his insight,and is a really great dr. He was diagnosis'd with ADHD @ 5 yrs. Started taking medications @ 6 yrs. His ADHD is controlled very well with the adderall and always was. He is more aggigtated, easily frustrated etc.when he doesnt take the adderall. Since, the dr. prescribed abilify for him.. is been a god send! hes so happy, laughing,joking. I was very afraid to even fill the RX when he gave me it. But, after reading about it, and talking to our pediatrician about it, I felt alot better. The combo of medications (with some dose changes in the beginning) - hes made a complete turn around. I did ask about bi-polar,and a few other illnesses. He asked me to get the nuero consult done and we will go from there. My son- doesnt have the ups and downs-no mood swings- he does have anxiety problems ( but only now and then, hard to explain)-Adhd and the ODD he def. has, as far as the CD-its iffy atm. He does have VERY VERY aggressive behavior and will knock your lights out if hes deregulated. sigh.. What happens at a Nuero dr appointment? what is done? what are they looking for? [/QUOTE]
