[QUOTE="earthprowler, post: 143892, member: 5019"] Thanks to everyone! wow! i don't get this much help from the doctors! Marguerite: thank you, no when he took the test it was because i had met with the neurologist and she suggested it. we knew he was ADHD but none of those medications were working for him at all and he'd been on about 6 in a year. we weren't talking bi polar at all but it was easier to take test results to the psychiatrist, counselor, psychologist, who ever instead of trying to explain to each and every one what was going on and not get it right each time. it wasn't until i finally asked the psychiatists assistant "what is wrong with him?" they told me that he was bipolar. "oh"..........well they know best i thought. but things keep going at the same speed as they always have just not the level. you never know what's coming next with him. and if he's behaving, it's wonderful but then he goes to play out side and i get a phone call from someone saying "difficult child said this or he did this"..........ugggh.....the kids are even starting to call me! i will look into the book, i got some books friday on defiant kids. From Defiance to Cooperation Your defiant child, 8 steps to better behavior Facing ADHD the explosive child was checked out so i will try to get that one soon. Smallworld: thank you! i've been to all of those sites and am registered on two of them. So the drug combination that he's on presently, from what most of you are saying that would be why he bounces one minute, explodes the next and then is calm, cool and collected and acts like there's nothing wrong. is that about right? that's what happens. he's like a golf ball. he's wound so tight in the middle (rubber bands) that if you bounce him too hard he'll explode, but if you are nice and gentle it's going to take a while but he'll still explode, you just don't know when it's going to happen or why. i'm tired of all the drugs he has to take, i feel so bad for him, he hates taking them especially the prozac, it breaks up and tastes nasty. he takes more medications than my husband with diabetes almost. but with out the medication, it's 100% worse! especially at school. and the lies he tells are rediculous! you aren't sure when he's telling the truth and when he's lying, he almost has to stand on his head to get you to believe him because of being caught in so many lies. And he's already labled at school as a trouble maker. when ever something happens, they single out difficult child as the one that did it, even if they have no proof. i've seen them take the word of a first grader (no lie!) over an adult because they are convinced difficult child did what ever it was. am i babbling? sorry. i tend to go off into a rant. anyway, i'm hoping that the new psychologist can help shed light on what's going on with difficult child with play therapy which he loves. we just started it last week, so we'll see how things progress with it and what she says. have any of you ever heard of any of the kids going up against females but not males? he normally won't push the limits when there's a male around, but will act up for girls, women even the ones he doesn't know! just thought i'd ask. Thanks again to everyone, i wish i'd found this site sooner!!!!!! :happy-little: [/QUOTE]
