[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 340441, member: 2423"] Jules, it's not the fact that the stimulants don't work that concerns me. It's the list of your difficult child's symptoms that tip me off that you may be looking at more than ADHD. Kids with ADHD typically don't hate life and want to die. That sounds like a pretty depressed kid. In addition, a kid that mouths things may have sensory issues. So . . . before you try any other medications, I'd strongly recommend either a multi-disciplinary evaluation at a children's or university teaching hospital or a neurospychological evaluation. It's really important that you nail down the diagnosis so you can put the appropriate internventions into place. And interventions may not only be medications. Hang in there and good luck. [/QUOTE]
