| I am sorry that the meds aren't helping laurie. Have they tried mixtures of meds and /or raising doses? How much has his issues been looked at? Just by a doctor or mental health ppl also? My son is turning 6 this week and was on adderall for a short time...not a good experience. Now, even though my husband dosnt totally approve, he's on 5 mg. of ritalin 3x daily and 1/2 of 0.1 mg of clonidine 3x daily. It is like a miracle. When he's not on them he's a holy terror who makes me want to loose my sanity. On it, he's like a normal little boy. My only issue has been getting an even cut of the clonidine, i usually end up with one small half and one larger half, so i save the small half for his morning dose and the bigger half for after school. He has been diagnosed (and it is agreed among several of his caregivers) with ADHD and ODD...I also have him in play therapy and occupational therapy and a skills class for kids like him. The therapies are making very slow progress but it's progress none the less. I would love to hear back as no one has answered me to date on other threads. Good luck! ↑ |

| Hello my daughter i now six and just started on guafacine. She was diagnosed with ADHD and ODD in Dec 2009. Then in April 2010 was dignosed with a seizure disorder. She has been on adiral and straterra both meds have had awful side effects. She was in adiral for 10 months and straterra for three two weeks. Guafacine seems to be best for her since she is on two seizure meds. Her behavior at school is much better. ↑ |
