[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 130470, member: 2423"] If your difficult child was worse on stimulant medications and he's now better without, I'm guessing the ADHD medications were making him anger and aggressive. He may not have ADHD and may not need stimulants at all. I would recommend a full neuropsychological evaluation to make sure you know exactly what you're dealing with. Treating symptoms with the wrong medications can make everything worse for a very long time. I know because we've been there done that. My son's first diagnosis at age 9 was ADHD and anxiety. He got worse on the wrong medications (stimulants and antidepressants). After two years of struggling, he's doing amazingly well on a combo of medications that treat a mood disorder (two mood stabilizers and an atypical antipsychotic). I hope you are able to figure out what is going on with your difficult child. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
