I seriously CANNOT take the tantrums that last for HOURS with difficult child#3. It's like he gets a little worse everyday. He is never happy and spends most of the day either screaming or crying. I am getting no answers from our behavioral pediatrician. We see him pretty often for medication checks and he is certain it's ADHD and has him on 1mg of Intuniv. I am seeing no results with the Intuniv but he just reassures me it's trial and error when trying ADHD medications.
I am at my wit's end with him today and I am STRONGLY considering inpatient treatment. We did it once with difficult child#1 and it seemed to get the ball rolling to get other services for him. I am thinking it might give me some more concrete answers on what is going on with him. He was the sweetest baby and toddler ever but it's like a monster has taken up residence inside of his body and he is NOTHING like the little kid I used to know.
