[QUOTE="3goofykids, post: 582553, member: 16017"] H! She no longer takes Ritalin. We got rid of that because she had MAJOR rages when it wore off. she started on 2mgs of Intuniv. She was recently increased to 3mgs. She takes 2mgs in the morning and 1mg when she gets home from school. That is the only medication she's on right now. My gut is telling me that it's not the right medication. She's still impulsive and hyper and bossy and rude and defiant. It is beyond what is developmentally appropriate for her age. She never remembers anything from her rages and appears to have zero empathy for anyone. We have narrowed down her life so much, that I feel sorry for her that she basically has no social life. We don't know what else to do to "punish" her. Her sleep patterns are erratic. Her eating is hit or miss. Her hygiene is not what it should be. She won't wash her hair but yet, she lingers in the shower for about 45 minutes! The kids at school told her that her hair was stinky, but she doesn't care. weve gone through a few therapists. I'm hoping this therapist can help. The doctor mentioned something about risperdal last time. I've seen kids on that and they have seemed like zombies. I don't want difficult child to be a zombie. I want the sweet child I had before she turned 5. When she is sweet, she is completely adorable. But when she's in on of her rages, omg... My entire house just freezes in fear and frustration.
