[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 38883, member: 2423"] Alison, is there a patient advocate or caseworker at the hospital you could talk to? Can you arrange for the psychiatrist to call you directly? Can you refuse to give permission for him to be given Adderall? Stimulants like Adderall treat ADHD, period. If he doesn't have ADHD, I don't understand why they're keeping him on it. Stimulants can definitely make kids with other disorders like anxiety and bipolar disorder worse. They can cause mood swings and hallucinations. It sounds as if Adderall has revved your difficult child up instead of calmed him down. in my humble opinion, you need to get on the phone or go down to the psychiatric hospital until someone will listen to you.
