[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 518148, member: 3930"] Re: the Intuniv - have you tried giving it to him at different times to see if it made a difference with the daytime sleepiness? What dose was the Intuniv? My difficult child takes 2 mg (3 mg was too much). He takes it in the morning with his Concerta. Some ppl say they take it at night, or after school. My difficult child has these same characteristics from your post (below) - is it really ADHD?, I mean to me it just seems like a certain 'type of child' and the experts haven't really discovered what it really is yet. Defiant Difficult Whiny Obnoxious Disrupting Interfering My son will get irritated over it being sunny, or windy, or because it's 2:00 when he thought it should be 1:00, if it doesn't snow when the weather report said it would, etc. If he loses at a game it is because everyone else is cheating or hacking or lying. Everything seems to irritate him. You name it. He is just overall "difficult". Maybe this is *not* a disorder, maybe it is his temperament. I am as lost as I was when I started this journey to figure it all out. So I am playing with idea of just learning how to "deal" with him the way he is. It takes all kinds of people and personalities and temperaments to make the world go round. [/QUOTE]
