[QUOTE="jal, post: 636290, member: 3477"] Malika, I haven't posted in quite a while, but I read here and there and have followed a bit of your story. My difficult child had tried numerous ADHD stimulant medications with terrible reactions when he was younger. He also trialed the same four that your son has with terrible results. My difficult child was also kicked out of several daycares, transferred to an out of district placement in elementary and I never drank or did drugs while pregnant. We did finally find a combination a few years ago which has made huge strides in his ability to handle school. He was able to transition back to his elementary school and is currently in middle school doing very well. This combination along with gaining a little maturity has helped him to come a long way. He is on Fluoxetine and Intuniv. Fluoxetine (generic Prozac) for help with anxiety and Intuniv for Adhd, which is an extended release blood pressure medication. He just could not tolerate stimulants. He still does have impulsivity issues which I think will diminish as he gets older because he's at an age now that he recognizes it, he is not perfect, but he is so much more in control of himself with this combination.
