[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 39366, member: 3419"] Crazyhorse, we were dead set against medications for our difficult child. My husband is a chiropractor and it's very against his philosophy. We tried diet, sports, counseling, herbs, neurofeedback... it got to the point where A) I realized that difficult child wouldn't be able to stick to a diet or any exercise regimen with-his mind going every which way, so we had to put the cart b4 the horse, so to speak, and B) I couldn't stand it any more and something serious needed to be done. I was ready to walk. The child psychiatric and pediatrician were only reluctant to medicate because they thought that husband was against it, so it was an interesting couple of appts. watching the conversational dances while they tried to figure out where husband was coming from! They didn't want to offend him. [img]:crazy:[/img] [img]:grin:[/img] We were unbelievably lucky. We tried 15 mg of Adderal and within 20 min-1/2 hr it kicked in. difficult child, who was normally on the ceiling, climbing, breaking things, very, very destrutive, loud and wild, sat down at the table and had a conversation with-my easy child for the first time in 9 yrs!
