[QUOTE="DDD, post: 62404, member: 35"] Welcome aboard. You have gotten good advice. Do some exploring of the site and read over the parent report suggestions as well as the suggestions for getting a complete neuro-psychological evaluation done. Getting a good diagnosis is the most important step. My boys have tried Strattera and it did not help either one. They are both certificably ADHD. Each person reacts differently to various medications so what works for one may not work at all for another. My older boy actually took Concerta (an effective stimulant) at the same time he tried Strattera. Go figure..lol! I'm very glad you found us. This is a super caring group of people. Although no one else has mentioned it yet, I am a bit concerned about your 3 year old. If your older boy is acting out and including sexualized display...please make sure he does not have access to your little boy. Strange things can happen when there is no diligent adult supervision. Some of our CD family members have had sad occurances. So...if they share a room or there is access with-o your observation, I would suggest that you be extremely careful until after you have a full professional diagnosis and interventions in place. Sending supportive thoughts and hugs your way. All of us can relate to your fear. Congratulations on reaching out so well to find guidance and support. DDD [/QUOTE]
