| I know exactly what you are going through. We took my son to counseling, meds tried everything. He started getting in trouble in Jr High. Started sneaking out at night, stealing, he would look in girls windows. After 8th grade he was locked up in a DYS group facility, it helped straighten him out for a while. Then he got caught selling drugs at high school & got kicked out. He is 26 now, his adhd comes out in rage and anger if you say something he doesn't like.In 2003 he got caught with more marijuana and got another felony. He has been on probation again it will be 2 years in August. He has been married for 2 years and has just had a baby. He now has gotten mad and won't let me see the baby. The baby is 1 month tomorrow. I am heart broken. I can hardly control myself from crying. We had a good family life, went to church, he went to Sunday school, church camp, we have a great marriage but nothing helped him he cannot get along socially with some people. He gets along with his wife because she won't cross him, she lets him be the boss and do what he wants. We bought the baby a beautiful crib and frog blanket and assembly. He put all his hunting stuff in the crib and a huge bow case. Just piled it up. I kept the baby on Wednesday, he came and picked him up. I said could I ask you a favor, would you get your stuff out of the crib. He yelled it isn't hurting anything. I said we paid alot for the crib and that stuff is dirty. He went into a rage and screamed and yelled, the poor baby jumped he was so loud. Then he said I couldn't keep the baby anymore and now he would talk to us. I am so heartbroken I think I will die. Hopefully your son won't be like this. Keep loving him and telling him you love him. It seemed we were always upset with my son because he never would do what we wanted. And we couldn't figure out how to make him. ↑ |

| oh do I know how you feel, my son also has adhd and mornings are dreadful!!!, I try to constantly redirect him, he usually does better if he eats something first, then gets ready, alot of the times i have to sit with him and remind him that he will be late firmly. once the meds kick in it is so much better, good luck ↑ |

| hey I was just cruising through the chat rooms for help, and i just gotta say , being a 15 year old girl w/ ADHD taking a 56 mill. pill concerta as well,for somthing i have relized is mostly for keeping my mind on track.listen im sorry to butt into your little thing but im pretty sure thats all part of being a male. i may be a girl but last year i started dating this guy who was doing alot worse stuff than that, and he didnt have it.He was the horniest guy i ever met ↑ |

one more thing...the pill...it changes the person after a while into a goodie goodie zombie that made me so shy that i didnt have any fun since i moved and found some new friends that know me, the real me,try showing how many people have to take stuff like that and if they really want to do good without the pill they have to really commit to somthing like that . Right now im trying to go without it and it is hard to stay calm but im gonna try keep going like you should try to keep going w/ him and dont forget to yell at him every once in a while to feep him on his toes.
If it worked for a 6 year old girl who was stabbing forks in her uncles head and kicking and biting her gaurdians im sure it could work for a mature young man
p.s. if you need help from an amature who just might be able to help,heres my email

hi, my life was to make it through this one day. Sometimes just one hour at a time. My sons quality of life had to be poor, in comparison to people without those symptoms of adhd. I am blessed with a wonderful school that helps so much both him and me. For more than 2 years now my son has been going to NEUROFEEDBACK. It helps reconnect the brain pathways that are not there. Helps cure the problem and not just help the symptoms. A computer brain game at LUMOSITY.COM has helped his attention and memory. also ALPHA STIM (electrical pulses from attachments on his earlobes) helps calm him tremendously. We also see a chiropractor which also help with many things. Our school has a social program called "ILAUGH"
that has helped him realize what other people think. If you try these things along with healthy food of many colors the maturity and growth will be amazing to you, thanks. ↑ |

| I really do understand your dilemma, I am an nurse who has ADHD myself, I am forty three and I was misdiagnoised for years. my doctor started me on stratterra at first and that did ok for me, but I am in school for my RN and I still was bouncing off the walls. The doctor then started me on adderal xr 10mg 2 months ago. It has been a god send. I can sit still and I can be rational now. I have been a really big hand full all of my life and I really did feel sorry for all of the things that I put my mom through. He loves you I am sure but either his med is not working with his natural chemistry or he needs a different dose or medication. I lost 10 pounds my first month, but now I have stabilized. Ask about a extended release of adderal. Keep in mind this disease is to some degree genetic. remember the old saying I hope that your kids do to you the things that you have done to your parents. hang in there and pray and just be patient your friend melinda ↑ |
