[QUOTE="jannie, post: 137487, member: 2074"] I'm not really sure what I mean by light...I avoided the medication thing for a while with my son. My younger son was the handful and we focused so much energry on him...however we always knew things were going on with difficult child 2. I saw symptoms of adhd in preschool (impulsive, active,) but he never had the meltdown and rages...he could handle "no"(difficult child 1 was the one who was flying off the handle).. difficult child 2 is very smart and excelled in school so his focus in k and 1 was about raising his hand, working slower, handwriting, and writing concerns. No medication until spring of grade 3 Trial tenex april-July July Straterra two weeks bad... Last year August 06-April 07 he was on abilify-He was pretty dull and made anxiety worse, somewhat depressed not good April 07-July 07 No Meidcation -hyper, anxious, talkative, hyper, angry, moody, impulsvie, all over, -just not right he needed something Vyvanse is the first and only stimulant he's ever been on. He was moody before and moody after. I don't think it's made it worse. Basically I think the Lexapro Vyvanse combo has been ok...I just think he has some type of mood disorder. I think I'll stop the Vyvanse for a few days since there is know with drawl. The thing is...I'm can't say if I think he's more depressed or more manic. I think he's both !!!! Lately he's been more manic....but he used to be more depressed. [/QUOTE]
