[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 115070, member: 3907"] Hello Michele, My difficult child is on the spectrum (Asperger's/ADHD) and a combination of stims and SSRI medications work well for him. Initially, when we just had him on a stimulant, his focus and control improved tremendously, but anxiety attacks were still a major issue. The SSRI has helped to smooth things out. He's less anxious and better able to get through the day. Before, anxiety would paralyze him. The downside...in the initial time when he started on the anti-anxiety, him impulse control (limited at best) dropped to nothing. Things did stabilize, but it's something to watch for. Now that he's settled into a good medications routine, we're planning to add melatonin to address his sleep issues. Hope this helps. Trinity [/QUOTE]
