11 yr old with inattentive adhd
My 11 yr old daughter was just diagnosed with inattentive adhd. She will have her 1st IEP meeting in a few weeks. Any advise on what to expect or what to ask? She is on generic adderall and while it has its side effects she is like a different kid. I can really enjoy her better now=). She had shown improvements

Hi! About two months ago my 5 year old son was diagnosed with ADHD. I spoke with my peds and we started on Methylphenidate 10 mg. There was no change in his behavior and so it was uped it to 20 mg at which point he started to get very emotional. His meds were changed to Adderall 10 mg and he again

Problems with Adderall rebound
My son is on 10 mg of Adderall, which seems to have stopped working. When we went up to 12.5 it did not help at all. Back down to 10, but lots of behaviors like uncontrolled laughing and inappropriate noises. Anyone else experience this? is it rebound effect?

Can you share your experience with Abilify?
My son was diagnosed with ADHD last September. He is 13 yo. Typical adhd, problems with attention in school, motivation, staying on task. Ritalin worked ok for couple mos but it stopped.We are searching for new meds.Yesterday he started Adderall, but he did not like it ( shaky hands, filling hyper )

Vyvanse
I'm new here and just wanted to ask for some guidance. Anyone has experience with their child taking Vyvanse for ADHD and ODD. Any strange side effects I should be worried about? This is our 3rd medication trial as Ritalin and Adderall worked for a while but then stop working.

Non-Stimulants
Hi all, So my 10 year old son has not been doing well on Focalin and he didn’t do well on adderall either. Both medication I feel add anger and aggressive behaviors. His emotions are all over the place and very depressed at time. On the medication he does well in school with focus and engaging in class

Adderall- first day
Today my son took 5mg of Adderall for the first time. When he came home from school, he says his hands were shaky in school and he felt hyper. He also says he was throwing up. Then , around 2pm he felt tired and sleepy. Is that normal?

Feeling down
My son has been on Focalin XR and Guanfacine ER for about four months. Things improved somewhat as the daily phone calls from the school stopped; however the incidents he has had seem to feel more dangerous. He tried to hurt another child at school on Friday and had to be picked up. His outbursts are

Lab Results: Amphetamines Skewing Results?
I will be following up with the Endocrinologist tomorrow, it will be our second meeting. In our first meeting he was unsure if I have a thyroid problems but suspected adult growth hormone deficiency. I shared an article on how GH deficiency can mask subclinical/mild Central hypothyroidism and was hoping

I want my boy back :(
Hi there, I am new to this group. My son( 13) has been diagnosed with ADHD last September. He started with metylophenidate 10mg, then 20mg. After the increase we noticed that his behavior got a lot worst. Lack of respect, some anger, he became mean and easily irritated. We did the Assurex gene test,

Daughter Diagnosed with ADHD, any tips/stories with similar situations are welcomed?!
My 6 year old Daughter just got diagnosed with ADHD(combined type). She doesn't have any behavior issues, she's a sweet, well mannered little girl. She does have trouble focusing at school, at home she does a little better as she is an only child but I cant say I struggle with her AT ALL. I'm very hesitant

Scared..I think
I'm a 39 year old woman on the verge of divorce. I've changed in the past several years and I hate who I've become. I'm about to sabotage the only marriage I never knew I wanted and I don't know how to salvage it. I don't even know if I still love him or just afraid of being without him. I used to be

Anxiety meds with ADHD
I'm finding that my anxiety is only improving a tiny bit on my adderall, and I'm wondering if a medicine specifically for anxiety would help. I cannot get to sleep because my brain is buzzing constantly, and every noise wakes me up. I've bitten my nails all but off, and I can't relax my nervous energy

Kid acts nutty at md office visits
I know this is part of her adhd and anxiety but this makes my anxiety go full throttle. My 11 y.o will need to have a tooth removed because it's not coming out on it's own and causing some issues. She went berserk at the thought of having it removed and she would seriously have to be sedated (can they

Things have got to change
Hello. Let me start by saying this is the first time I've ever tried to level with others on a forum of any kind. Not that I'm against reaching out but I've always had a hard time asking for help/guidance. But the writing is on the wall and in my case whatever I'm doing now is not enough. So here it

Refusal to complete schoolwork. Help?

Newly diagnosed 26 year old mother
So I'm pretty shocked to be on this page. For years I have battled anxiety, depression, impulsivity, suicidal ideation, and self-harm. I've been to 5+ counselors and 4 GPs, and no one could really get to the bottom of what was going on with me. I got married two years ago, and had a son under a year
