[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 180355, member: 2423"] I was on vacation so I didn't get an opportunity to welcome you properly. So welcome to the board -- I'm so glad you found us. FWIW, I think it's wise the psychiatric hospital is holding the Adderall until the docs know what they're dealing with. If your difficult child has a mood disorder like bipolar disorder, Adderall can make him much worse, and in fact, may have contributed to the behavior that led to his psychiatric hospital admittance. From everything I've read, it's not a problem to stop stimulants like Adderall cold turkey. In fact, many parents of children with pure ADHD give stimulants for school days only and not on weekends and school vacations. So I hope you will not worry about the decision the psychiatric hospital made. Is the psychiatric hospital going to be doing any testing? Have the docs started any new medications at this point? When you get a chance, please create a profile similar to mine below. Here's a link to how to do that: [URL]http://www.conductdisorders.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8399[/URL] Creating a signature will help us remember your family circumstances every time we respond to your posts. I'm glad you sought help for yourself. Hugs for your hurting mommy heart. [/QUOTE]
