[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 655128, member: 1631"] Confused-My son has both ADHD and Bipolar. The medications for the two don't usually mix well. My son cannot take a stimulant medication for his ADHD because that makes him violent. The medication that did help my son with his ADHD ended up being Clonidine which is actually a blood pressure medication. If you have a good psychiatrist he will know what he is doing medication wise. It is a trial and error sort of thing. I wish I could say we were lucky and got it right on the first try but it didn't work out that way. For him it took 6 hospitalizations to get it right. Everyone is different. For us, even though there are possible serious side effects the good truly outweighs the bad. I look at it as he is ill and needs these medications. For me not to give them to him would be like a diabetic not getting his insulin. My difficult child cannot function without the medications. Oh, as for the IEP, it's not all about the work that gets done but he could have a behavioral IEP even if his grades are okay. [/QUOTE]
