[QUOTE="Andy, post: 263426, member: 5096"] Isn't it wonderful to be able to say, "He seems happier"? That is so nice to hear about your difficult child. He needs good days - happy moments. I hope they can come up with a solution to the medications. If he is so tired on Adderall already, increasing it doesn't make sense. Maybe decreasing and more dosages? Like 5 mg twice a day instead of 10 mg once a day? Maybe the extended release is what is not working for him? I don't know - I shouldn't give advice on medications so don't give it too much credit - just a brainstorm thought from someone who doesn't have a clue about the different medications. Our therapist and psychiatrist are 60 miles away. We went to therapist once a week for about one year and now 2 times per month. therapist gave us the name of psychiatrist and they work well as a team. I was so impressed when psychiatrist's nurse called me on Friday to say psychiatrist had reviewed therapist's notes from Wednesday's visit and was recommending a change in medications. When we were dealing with pediatrician doctor, I would have to call pediatrician doctor office with concerns (even though he also had access to therapist notes). One less thing for me to do. Are you feeling better now? What are you doing to keep yourself healthy? [/QUOTE]
