[QUOTE="mazdamama, post: 439475, member: 12227"] Thanks so much for your input. So much has been going on here and so many medications coming into this house I had not really checked the indications and counter indications. David had gone from seeing a developmental/behavioral specialist out of town to seeing a psychiatrist and therapist in town. The specialist was great but was monitoring the medications and could only see David every 6 mos or more and no blood work was being ordered. This went on for over 3 yrs and I finally got tired of him not being monitored. Reading up on the focalin XR I realize that David should have never been put on it. He has high anxiety and the medication may be causing the outbursts. The older of the two boys has a significat cough right now, a temp and the runs. Called his pedi who will not be in the local office till tomorrow and made an appointment. She specializes in ADHD and has known the boys all their lives. I want to go over both the boys medications with her. I know that she will contact the prescribers if she feels that they are either overmedicated or on the wrong medications. Right now the older of the two is watching some Bigfoot program and continually interupts me to "LOOK" so I am going to get off here. [/QUOTE]
