[QUOTE="cathyw1970, post: 112685, member: 4471"] NOt sure if this is going on with your son. However with my difficult child Justin who is BiPolar (BP),adhd,odd. Stimulant drugs do not work on him. Or even drugs that can act like stimulants such as klonodine. In fact they made him manic. He was literally bouncing off the walls. Some info I learned here years ago is in some cases children with BiPolar (BP) and adhd, even on a mood stablizer, still can't treat the adhd. I hope for your sake that's not the case because I'm here to tell you, it makes it very hard. Justin's was a little different, he became aggressive and very impulsive. Justin started out on depakote and risperdal and that worked until he was 12 even tho the adhd had to remain untreated. He is now on abilify, tenex, lamictal. The tenex is suppose to help some with the adhd however I have never seen a change in that part. Guess what I'm trying to say is even when the bipolar is under control our hands are still full due to the adhd. Justin will sometimes go days without sleeping even with a sleep medication, can't sit still, is always pacing and omg never shuts his mouth. I sooooooooo feel your frustation. Cathy [/QUOTE]
