[QUOTE="riskybusiness, post: 66149, member: 678"] Hello and thank you for all the input. I also am not sure if Strattera is allowed in Canada? I just through it out there because I had heard of it. Today we dropped the dosage down to two 18's because I was just so worried after the past two weeks incidents. He also had a type of meltdown last night. It was too late for him to go in the pool and originally we had thought we could but the evening just didn't work out that way. He had a temper tantrum. He was very upset, yelling and then went and crawled under the table and the stayed there. We went in to bring him out and couldn't seem to move him out of his upset mood. This is TOTALLy not at all like our son. He woke in the middle of the night last night and yelled at the top of the stairs at the top of his lungs "thanks alot for not letting me go in the pool" etc etc I flew out of bed because he has never gotten up in the middle of the night like this before and yelled. I said tomorrow will be a better day now I will tuck you in and everything will be okay. He settled right down and said "okay mom" and off to sleep he went. It was bizarre. I am so worried about him. I am crying again regularly, it feels like it use to years ago when I would cry every day that he was at school because I didn't know if they were going to send him home or call me etc. On the 27mg of Concerta for the past year at school he has not been hyper at all, but his concentration and focus still was poor. His ability to make friends and keep them is still non existant. Is there ever a situation where the medication actually relieves the attention issue and the hyperactivity etc? Or should we just be happy with him not being hyper and live with all the other stuff. Has anyone out there had all their sons symptoms handled with one medication either Adderal, or Focalin etc etc? Actually I am not even abreast of all the other medications for ADHD. What other types are there? I would like to research them on the internet. Our psychiatric is away now till mid September and he is a one man office so there is no one else to consult. I am so worried about school now. One more week of camp for our son and I was so hoping that we would have had a solution for him before school started. I just want him to be happy and successful. I want him to feel like he fits in. As moms we weep so for our children when they are having problems. Thank you so much for all your support it makes you feel better just to know that others are out there and can give you some guidance and info as to what happened when they used the medications etc. [/QUOTE]
