[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 317079, member: 1550"] Hi there. You can vent here anytime ;) I am with you. I'd have trouble with my child being on more than two medications (three tops if he didn't seem too changed). I think it's important to remember that no pill (or pills) will take care of everything. If you try to medicate away every symptom, he could end up on nine pills and still not be able to focus (in fact, I've taken medications most of my life and many made me very lethargic and I felt drugged...I'm sure people thought I was calmer when I could barely move). Is he in therapy? That's a big part of helping. I would get a second opinion on the diagnosis. It's all over the place. How long did the pneuro test him? My son's tested him for ten hours. A one or two hour visit just isn't enough time. Did he test in all areas of function? Who put him on all those medications at one time? Usually a medication is given one at a time to see how it works and then slowly others are added if needed. I would really wonder about the doctor who threw four medications at your child...and now wants more? For me, at least, that would not work. [/QUOTE]
