[QUOTE="ksm, post: 449822, member: 12511"] OK, I figured out how to add a signature line. Hope that helps! She has been taking Stratera 40 mg for a couple of months. They tried to get her up to 60 mg but she couldn't tolerate that. She didn't feel that she needed medication, but once we stopped it (at 60mg) she said she noticed that she was kind of hyper and couldn't concentrate as well. She said she noticed on the medications that kids would talk to her more at school. But I think when she was off the medications, she talks a lot... and randomly... like it doesn't fit in with the conversation. She does that at home a lot, blurts out something that doesn't have any thing to do with what we are talking about. After the rant about apples and bananas being disgusting - she had cereal this morning and sliced a banana in it! This behavior isn't new... just seems to be getting worse. One time, about 5 years ago - when she was about 7 and her sister 5. She had a day long rage because they were playing "Barbie" and her doll HAD to go to prom FIRST! Her little sister held her ground and said all the dolls get to show up at prom at the same time. But no, difficult child's doll had to make an entrance first, then all the other dolls could show up 15 minutes later. That should have been a clue what the future held. It seems like such a silly argument between two little girls. But I gave her a time out until she could calm down, then compromise and play. Well, after several hours of crying and arguing she finally explained to me: "I have tried to compromise, but she STILL won't do it my way!!!" It would be funny if it wasn't my life. To other people, they think she is the easy child. She relates well to adults and prefers to hang with them... or to baby sit toddlers and little kids. She is charming. Just not at home. When she has a rage - she later feels remorseful and says things like, everyone would be better off I was never born (or dead) and other times she cries I don't know why I am so mean to my family. I don't know if it is true remorse, or just more attention seeking behavior. KSM [/QUOTE]
