[QUOTE="ML, post: 115337"] We just came back from the new psychiatrist. She doesn't think he even has adhd! Based upon the questionnaire, he scored out of balance only on the seretonin symptoms, but very low on the dopamine one (which is involved with adhd I guess). So my guess is that his daydreaming is probably *just* from spectrum stuff. AND, the fact that he is on: QVAR, Clariton, Albueterol and flonase caused her jaw to drop a little. Oh well, one other really good thing that happened this week is that I interviewed a therapist who will work with difficult child on his anxiety (CBT) and he's actually happy about going. What she said was that he seemed to be doing better at night and in the morning but during the day he struggled more and that I need to break up the Celexa into morning and night doses. So we'll see what that does. Thank you all for sharing your thoughts. I feel exactly like you do, Marg. I mean on the part where other people who don't walk in our shoes think they get to weigh in on our treatment protocols. My mom was upset with me for considering a stimulant. I had to nicely tell her that she had to trust my judgement and let me handle it. These people who want to tell us how to treat our kids don't seem to be signing up for homework duty, now do they?
