[QUOTE="tonime, post: 186369, member: 144"] I don't think he has a tick disorder. He has had them in the past and they come and go. Nuerologist said childhood tics are normal as long as they go away-try not to pay attention to them. I think difficult child really wants to be off medications and probably feels anxious for now without them. Today I see an improvement with the schoolwork I gave him. Still not where I would like to see it-- but there is improvement. As for why we are going off medications-- we would like to see how he functions without them since he has been on them since he was 4. We shall only see. Last night, he went to a pool party with the boy scouts and I talked to him before it-about being "calm"-- he tends to go over the top with excitement, etc. and other kids will back off from that. He did great-- a few times I had to go by him to tell him to bring it down a notch and he did. What I liked most was that he was not NASTY with me about it. If he ends up needing medications for school-- I will ask for something different than what he was on. I truly feel if difficult child is anything it is classic ADHD. Focusing and concentrating seem to be the hardest for him. However, now that he is older perhaps we can work on behaviors to help him with this. So far, the mornings seem to be the worst for him-without the medications- by afternoon-he seems calmer. [/QUOTE]
