[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 58274, member: 3184"] I had a great response and my wifi went out. We are treating the mood disorder with lamictal, but psychiatrist wants to see if C can tolerate stims while he is on mood stabilizer. ADHD symptoms are very intense. The only thing he can concentrate on is playing Zoo Tycoon on the computer. He is loud, talks incessantly (has always done this and makes sense once he slows down enough so I can understand him), has to be in charge. He plays well with children younger than him, but does not get along with kids his own age.Since on the Lamictal I have seen no irritability or tearfullness except for 2 weeks after we started 15mg of Daytrana. He was on 10mg of Daytrana for 1 week, and then 15mg for 2 weeks and then mood went down. Cody has never broke anything out of anger, he has thrown toys away out of frustration. He has never hit me out of anger or frustration. He does not rage at the word no,though he has thrown a fit or two but I see that as a kid thing. He has been in a few bad fights at school, where he hurt other kids. I am frustrated now, as with husband not doing well, I should have difficult child go somewhere, but 1st of all I cannot afford day care, and difficult child has been kicked out of Boys & Girls club. Even if I got them to accept him again, he would get kicked out again. He gets so wound up and in "show off mode" and just cannot stop. He hit another boy with a pool cue one time. The problem is at home he is completely different than he is anywhere else. Maybe I compensate and make sure he is in a good situation. The problem with school is that his IEP is for speech therapy as he has no educational impact. He is at and above grade level at everything. We have behavior things built into his IEP, but once he graduates from speech, we will not have that option. He will be out of speech soon, and probably should be now, but the school district has been good about doing what may help him. I think his speech problems are associated with his ADHD. psychiatrist described hypomania as a mood disorder, pressured speech, grandiose feelings, a definant change in mood, not like the short lived irribality of ADHD or its short fuse Sorry to ramble. In a nutshell, I know he cannot tolerate stims alone, but we want to see if he can tolerate them while on a mood stabilizer. Guess that was all I needed to say [/QUOTE]
