I have a 5 yr old who was diagnosed last year with ADHD. He also has CP. This past year he has been on several, about 5, medications. And he is currently on Clonidine. He takes 3 pills a day, .1mg. Today, he seen a new doctor, who basically, I felt attacked me. He went on and on about the amt of medications he has been on. And that that shouldnt have been the case, when it wasnt me prescribing the medications, it was his doctor. And his blood pressure was high today, and he suggested taking him off of the clonidine altogether. But he didnt give me any options I felt for otherwise dealing with my son. Other than saying that he was one of the most active childs hes seen in his career. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to feel. Spanking him doesnt work, time outs don't work, talking him down doesnt work. What am i to do? I feel exhausted, alone, and bewildered. Any ideas would be helpful and appreciated.
