[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 70469, member: 3419"] Welcome! You are in good company! I wish we had paid more attention when the teachers sent home notes when our difficult child was 5. And boy, did they send home a lot of notes! They sent home notes and called mtngs again 2 yrs ago and basically said we had to hold him back, give him outside tutoring, and try medications. Teachers can't diagnosis but they did tell us he was a classic case. My husband was in total denial and it wasn't until last yr that we even tried medications. Luckily, the first thing we tried, Adderal, worked. The counseling has been harder. And the testing ... well, it's weeks and months apart, as everyone here knows. You've certainly tried quite a few medications already. What are some of your difficult child's symptoms? How does he act out? Do you have a good pediatrician who is trying these medications with-you, or a neuropsychologist, or psychiatric? The downside of our pediatrician is that he had to take our word for almost everything. My son only acted out once with-him and he was very surprised. I, like many here, was actually happy when my son was obnoxious at the dr's ofc because to that point, no one believed me! Good luck. [/QUOTE]
