[QUOTE="oceans, post: 55650, member: 2687"] Maybe start again with a new evaluation. Perhaps a new child psychiatrist or a multi evaluation at a children's hospital? Sometimes ADD is a first diagnoses when they are very young, and as they grow it is apparent that there is something else going on. It sounds like stimulants might not be a good solution for him. We had the same thing happen with the ADD diagnoses and stimulants. It turns out that my son does not have ADD at all. He has a mood disorder. It manifests mostly as a major depression, although he has had his times were I strongly suspected he was having hypomania. He needed to go through a number of medication trials before we hit a combination that has him very stable. We went to several different psychiatrist and psychologists, and he had 2 hospitalizations before things fell into place. Sometimes you need to keep asking questions before you get the right answers.
