Welcome.  When nothing seems to be working and the diagnosis can be questioned, I always think it's a good idea to get a thorough evaluation from a pediatric neuropsychologist. Reports from parents here have shown that while sometimes psychiatrists get it right, other times they are really off base because they focus primarily on current behaviors and jump into medications as opposed to doing a thorough evaluation starting, including early developmental history.


I had a child who had a bad reaction to Zoloft when given for severe anxiety--within two weeks he was out of control and it took months for his behavior to return to baseline. It's a great medication for those it works well for but for those it doesn't, it causes big time problems.
