[QUOTE="cbrinke, post: 582996, member: 16029"] Thanks for the reply Bunny.. I have been bracing for judgmental comments and this was a nice surprise .:) My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD when she was 6, i recognized it early because I have worked with Special Education kids for a while. She has been on Concerta (dont remember why we moved from this) to Vyvanse to Focolyn (A complete aggressive nightmare ) and then back to Vyvance. We just recently saw a Neurologist who add ODD to our alphabet and we stared taking intuniv, which I am pleased with so far.. I think, its only been 2 weeks at 1 mg. Quick Quest- what is difficult child and easy child? We had one family therapist appointment to tell her that she has ADHD. I guess my next step is to see a behavior therapist and more counseling for myself and her. The therapist suggested that we read THE EXPLOSIVE child.. It seems to be talking about my kid exactly. Just now starting it though. My husband is a pilot and I stay at home because its just too hard to manage three kids a house and job with him being gone so much. I am 43 and I truely think the stress of the ODD behaviors is the reason that I am in early menopause, which is not helping me in the patience department. My daughter does not have any Learning Disability (LD) so she only has a 504 plan and up until this week, she has done mostly OK at school - she saves her negative behaviors for home. This week her teacher said that she REFUSED to participate in ALL learning activities the entire day. I have a good relationship with the teacher as she also taught my 13 year old. Any suggestions are welcome.. I have heard that zoloft helps with the anxieties but I hate to have her on 3 medications. She is already skin and bones. [/QUOTE]
