[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 103058, member: 2423"] Christin, welcome! I'm somewhat familiar with the issues you're dealing with because my father is a gastroenterologist and my daughters suffered with GI issues until we got them stabilized on mood medications (which I know is NOT your case -- I have a strong suspicion your son's behavior issues are exacerbated by his medical issues, and when you get the medical issues straightened out, the behavior issues will improve). Sorry for all the questions, but your answers will help me point you in the right direction. Is your son on any medications for his GI issues? Has he been diagnosed with gastroparesis? What is the neuro recommending for his CVS? Has he had a neuro workup including MRI and EEG? I've read that CVS is tied to migraines. Some of the migraine preventives (such as amitriptyline) actually treat anxiety so you may have a win-win situation using certain medications. Furthermore, anxiety often presents with ADHD-like symptoms so it may be wise not to treat ADHD first. The stimulants that treat ADHD frequently exacerbate pre-exisiting anxiety. Again, welcome.
