[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 25075, member: 1550"] If your child says it's the medications making her working, I'd believe her. My son got aggressive and mean on all stimulants. It turned out that ADHD was the wrong diagnosis. I have bipolar II and Ritalin made me so depressed that I got suicidal. It's not for everyone. If your child has a mood disorder of any kind, many mood disordered kids can never take stimulants, even with co-morbid ADHD. It makes things worse many times. It's up to you what you do, of course, but if the current professionals have not helped him, I would get another opinion. That's exactly what we DID do when my son just wasn't responding right. It is common for kids with mood problems to be able to hold it together at school, but then you get it tenfold because they have to let it out (I was one of those kids). Hugs--sounds like you're burning out. Take time for yourself, if you can. Look into respite!!! [/QUOTE]
