[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 27977, member: 1550"] Hi, Tracy. Has your son EVER had a diagnosis? Who gives him the medications? Maybe he didn't see the right type of professional for evaluation (Psychiatrist with the MD). How long has it been since he was last evaluated? Unfortunately, although I don't believe for ONE SECOND that it's your fault (our kids are born this way) you only have two years in which to help him. Then he's on his own, and if he doesn't want to get evaluated or treated you can't do a thing about it. I had this eighteen year old limit with one of my daughters. Also, are you sure he isn't using illegal drugs or drinking? That only makes psychiatric/neurological problems worse. Has your son ever been tried on a mood stabilizer without any stimulants or antidepressants at the same time? First line mood stabilizers are (in my own biased order of how effective i feel they are and I"m no professional: Lamictal, Lithium, Trileptal, Depakote and Tegretal. I wish you luck. It's very hard when the kids get older. My daughter acted like she had a major psychiatric disorder and we found out, to our shock (I'm dumb this way) that she was using drugs, mostly ADHD drugs!!! She was crushing them in a pillcrusher and snorting them with her friends, alone and with things like cocaine. She has been fine since going straight, which required tough love and making her leave our house when she refused treatment at 18. Hugs to you. [/QUOTE]
