[QUOTE="DDD, post: 111698, member: 35"] I don't know of any new medications but I have very often noticed that dosages are extremely low. I understand you have tried all the stimulants but if they just didn't work (as opposed to causing additional problems) did you research the amount prescribed. Here's what my difficult child was changed to by our wonderful caring, old and experienced "new" psychiatrist about three years ago. This combo has worked wonders and we have had no side effects. Each AM he takes 72 mgs of Concerta. Yes, 72. I have had kids with ADHD since the l960's and I never knew anyone who took that much. My skinny (but healthy kid) does and it works just right. He takes two 500 mg. of Depakote and he takes a total of 1.5 mgs of Risperdal. A few times a week he has an Ativan (1 mg) if he is very anxious or tense. Obviously I am not endorsing or encouraging you to try this regimen but for us this more experienced Psychiatrist inspired my confidence (not an easy task..lol) and larger quantities of previously tried medications did the trick. difficult child can still be a difficult child but he hasn't been written up once at school etc. since this change. My only other thought is allergy testing. Have you tried that yet? Sending understanding hugs your way. DDD [/QUOTE]
