[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 126472, member: 2423"] Welcome! I'm glad you found us. Your difficult child has a lot of dxes and is taking a lot of medications for a little guy. Has he ever had a multidisciplinary or neuropsychological evaluation at a children's or university teaching hospital to figure out exactly what's going on? Only with a proper diagnosis will you be able to put the proper interventions into place to help him. Is he better, worse or about the same since starting Ritalin and Prozac? Some kids with undiagnosed mood disorders (which can include all the dxes your difficult child has) actually do worse on stimulants like Ritalin and antidepressants like Prozac and do better on mood stabilizers. My son's diagnosis at one time was ADHD, anxiety and depression when in actuality he has a mood disorder. Now that we're treating him for that alone, he's doing a whole lot better. I'm not saying that's what's going on with your difficult child, but it's something you need to consider. Again, welcome. You will find a lot of support here. [/QUOTE]
