[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 209114, member: 3907"] Hello Stef and welcome. So glad that you found us, but very sorry that you needed to. You've received some great suggestions from others. I just want to weigh in with my $0.02. Again, I'm not a doctor and can't diagnose but I wonder if your son's issues have been mislabelled. Many of us here start out with a diagnosis of ADHD/ODD, and then it's a lot of detective work from that point to find out the true issues. I'm very glad to hear that your difficult child is getting re-evaluated. A lot of us have had success with neuropsychologist evaluations, and I wonder if it's possible to arrange that for your difficult child. So many disorders (autism spectrum/Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), bipolar, etc.) have symptoms that are lookalikes to ADHD. But since the underlying conditions are different, the medications that work for ADHD can make the situation so much worse. My difficult child has Aspergers, bipolar and ADHD. He was on stims for a long time, which made him rage, become very violent, and become a danger to everyone in the family. If your difficult child is on stims but doesn't have ADHD then he might be experiencing similar issues. AND if he's taking street drugs, then any control is straight out the window. You've found a great group here. Post as often as you need to. Let us know how you're faring. {{{{{Hugs}}}}} Trinity [/QUOTE]
