[QUOTE="Bugsy, post: 221511, member: 1680"] I have not been on the boards much at all, so I am sorry if this question has been posed already but have you tried lithium? My son went through all of the medications you listed and then some, but the first thing that helped and he's doing great with (knock on wood) is lithium. Once he was more stable on lithium then we were able to very slowly add a stimulant. We tried tons of stimulants prior to the lithium with horrible/scary reactions but now he does well with concerta and a small dose of ritalin in the afternoon. I relate to the frustration. It took us 4 years to get to where we are now. He made honor roll every progress report so far this year I don't know what tomorrow will be but today I can tell you it is possible to find the right combination. Good luck [/QUOTE]
