Thank you all, yes, I know he needs an IEP, the thing is as long as hes on his patch his work gets done well enough. Its getting him going to there is the problem because he wants to go at his made up time. He overall behaves at school ( yes still holds in anger so happy about that) so even when I talked to the public school they said maybe. Well we will see. Ok, I dont want to start a new thread so....
**** Yesterday son was good overall, mouthy but good. This morning he barely turned on the TV, my dad walked in the door with something he needed for school and some paper towels for us. My dad still plan on taking him to other store but they arent open yet, and son blew full tantrum even after my dad said yes hes still going he just wanted to make sure they had that item. Well, son didnt understand that nor did he like the idea my dad got it .. so we have been having fun. Son went out the door and started to "run away" as he said and I got him made him come back in. My son is getting more and more daring and I dont like that. It scares the heck out of me. So , appts coming soon, just meanwhile all this is yikes!
So, say they officially make it that he has bipolar( explosive disorder now called I think) how does those medications work for his ADHD? I know, I have to talk to his Dr when he gets his diagnoses, but Im as usual, curious and preparing myself as much as possible so Im not blind sided. Below is an article I found,I know, trial and error like with doctors. But I dont like error when It comes to my kids health, these drugs are all dangerous and it scares me. I mean, adhd I can deal with, he will fail until he learns how to handle doing schoolwork. hyperness I can deal although scares me because too daring he will get hurt... so, violence has to go no matter- I will talk to the dr again when we go. The bad part is everyone disagrees on which medications to give him too, so this his not helping I think they need to talk as well! Im going to see if we all can, of course once an official diag comes I think everyone will be on board- I hope. So Im not going to keep writing in- Im going to wait for the appointment with psychiatric to let you all know.. I feel so excited this will all be helped soon!!!!!!!!!!!!...
I been looking it up on the net... "Atomoxetine" is for both...."Unfortunately, for patients who have comorbid ADHD and bipolar disorder with manic features, atomoxetine could trigger a manic episode. However, for some people suffering from both conditions, atomoxetine taken with mood stabilizers may be a safe and effective treatment.Nonstimulant ADHD prescription drugs are beneficial because they work 24 hours a day, allowing people with ADHD and bipolar disorder to function effectively from early morning until bedtime."
