[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 539806"] What medications is she on and in what dosages? I agree wholeheartedly about the medications. difficult child 1 does NOT do well at all on stims and we've found that Risperdal and Prozac actually CAUSE him to be psychotic. They both affected his sleep as well which causes a huge increase in behavior and he never got a break from that cycle. Now that he's off those medications and is only taking a non-stimulant for his ADHD and Tenex to help with the sleep, things are better here. I fourth the recommendation of a neuropsychologist evaluation. I second the recommendation of the book The Explosive Child by Ross Greene. I add a recommendation to seriously look at the medications [I]possibly[/I] causing some of this behavior. There is definitely more going on than just ADHD and all the typical parenting methods will not work. If she really is that "gifted", you might want to look into Asynchronous Development as well. That might also figure into the picture. You have found a grat place with a wealth of knowledge based on first-hand experiences. Welcome to our little corner of the world. Glad you found us but sooo sorry you had to. [/QUOTE]
