[QUOTE="myeverything04, post: 508525, member: 13522"] So, since my difficult child has went from 66 lbs to 55 (in 10 weeks), I decided to take her off Adderall XR 10mg a day on Sunday. She has been eating like a piggie, which I'm very happy for, but I took her to open swim tonight at the YMCA and she acted like a 3 year old!! She couldn't sit still in the viewing room as we waited for the swim lessons to be over (my fault as we got there early), she asked me every 2 mins "is it time now? how much longer?." She was very hyper in the pool, splashing me multiple times when I asked her to stop. Then she took another girls ball and threw it to the other end of the pool. I just feel so frustrated. I can't keep her on the medication because she doesn't eat (trust me, I've tried EVERYTHING to get her to eat and she just won't), but when she is off the medication I feel like I'm going to lose my mind! We have tried all the medications that you can "sprinkle on applesauce" as she can't swallow a pill and refuses to try to learn how. We have a dr appointment tomorrow but I feel like I'm getting no where with her pediatrician. We have seen a nutritionalist who gave me the same advice I already knew. I hate to say this but does anyone else every see another child in public and wish their kid acted like the other one was? [/QUOTE]
