[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 571650"] Welcome to our corner of the web. I'm glad that you found us. I can tell you that I have found an amazing amount of support and information here. I agree with what the others have said that you need to have both of the boys evaluated by someone other than the pediatrician. Can they maybe recommend a neuropsychologist in your area? It will probably take months (if you're lucky) to get an appointment, but he or she will do a thorough evaluation over several days of testing and will be able to get a really clear picture of what is going on with both of them. As far as medications go, every kid is different. We tried difficult child on several different drugs in the SSRI class of medications with disasterous results. They made him even more aggressive than he was to begin with. He takes Rispersol now and does really well on, while there have been other parents here who said that risperdal was the worst thing they ever put their kids on. I explained it to my husband this way: he can't take amoxycilin because he has an allergic reaction to it, but I can take it with no problems. Alot of the these medications are the same. What works for my kid might not be the best for yours. Finding the right medication or combination of medications can be alot of trial and error. Hang in there. Watch for any side effects when you start them and listen to your mommy gut! If you think that a medication is making things worse, tell the prescribing doctor and see about trying something else. Keep us posted about how they are doing. [/QUOTE]
