[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 182786, member: 1550"] Find out what is really wrong with him. Take him for a neuropsychologist evaluation. Then you will see if he needs medications at all (stimulants are SPEED and speed is abused by teens--my daughter abused it). Find out if he really has a mood disorder, instead of ADHD/ODD, or if he has another disorder. What kind of behavior does he display other than being hyperactive? By the way hyperactivity is seen in disorders other than ADHD too. And defiance is seen in many disorders (almost all of them). The older they get, untreated, the harder they are to control. Stimulants are NOT the only medications. They are what doctors use for ADHD, but if the speed is souping him up I"d again question the diagnosis. I don't like stims for kids nearing the teens. My daughter told me that kids fake ADHD, crush the medications in pillcrushers, and snort it alone or with other drugs, like cocaine. That's why it's a controlled substance. It doesn't seem to be helping your child so I'd try to find out if something else is going on. [/QUOTE]
