[QUOTE="WornOut35, post: 70997, member: 4026"] I'm not sure the Focalin is the cause of the anger issues, he's always been this way, I did take him to see one psychiatrist she diagnosed him as bipolar and prescribed lithium, and with my Mom being a nurse for many years, sister graduating soon as Nurse Practitioner, and several nurses on his dad's side they all threw a fit about the lithium, which I was already afraid about so I never tried it. He is small for his age and doesn't always eat very much, and my sister said something about blood levels or something so I gave up on that. I was seeing a Psychiatrist/neurologist for anxiety and depression for the first time in my life and mentioned my son to him and he said it didn't sound like bipolar. He said he didn't believe the focalin would work at all the way it does at school if he was bipolar because it is a stimulant it would only make him worse. Soooo, that being said I am going to see if the doctor. will try something else for the afternoon. Because I know the focalin xr works, I have seen how he is on it during the summer and weekends, etc., He is like a different child. Oh , about the foods, yes I have tried that didn't really see a change but I cook normal healthy means anyway, and he only drinks milk, water, or cranberry juice. [/QUOTE]
