difficult child has had bad reactions from stimulants. He has tried two. Same reaction to both.
Bad mood, angry, scared - feels like he is on the edge of a cliff ready to jump. (his words)
New therapist thinks he would react that way to all stimulants. Suggested Straterra. He mentioned in only one time and we went on to other issues.
difficult child has seen him now 5 times. He has taken an "inventory" or assessment. Questions like
I like school
teachers like me
teachers are fair
teachers are out to get me.
LOL...hahahaha...difficult child/school. OMG Up until this very time (school seems ok at this minute) difficult child and school/teachers were like Oil and Water. OMG. He wouldn't go the other way, he would confront them over Nothing. Just because. And all teachers hate him and are never fair.
Well, he created his reputation and made sure every person knew about it. So if teachers weren't fair or didn't like him - his fault.
This school isn't like that.
I went to see therapist (his request) yesterday. Said it seems like he has "ADD spectrum" Then went on to something else. I said..wait a minute. WHAT? He said we will go over it another time. ???????
Anyway also said difficult child mind/brain never ever stops.
Straterra. Is it quick in quick out? Does it take a while?
I know I would have to go see psychiatrist for this. difficult child said no medication. But recently asked if he can give it a try.
