[QUOTE="KatieLouWho, post: 459170"] Kate is 7 and has been ( so far) diagnosed with ADD and Sensory Integration Disorder (SID), we finally got into see a developmental pediatrician and he is thinking Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified but we have lots of testing to do before we get there. So far she has tried compounded Ritalin which made her very aggressive, sometimes violent. We then worked with Concerta, worked for a year but as we moved up the dosages her anxiety became so bad that she was pulling out her hair and not sleeping. We stopped Concerta at the end of June when school and let her have a summer without medication just to see how she was ( anxiety was way less but concentration was very poor) then we met with the new Dr. Aug 29th. He is one of the best in Vancouver, spent two hours talking mostly to Kate and when he was speaking about her, he sent her to the "hang out" room to play while we talked. We started Strattera and so far its been great. She is a bit teary sometimes but otherwise, I haven't received any notes home from school about her so we are happy campers :) [/QUOTE]
