7 Yr.old son w/ADHD&ODD

Posted by Diane S. on August 21, 1998, at 14:32:18

My 7 yr.old was diagnosed almost 2 yrs. ago.Since then he's been on Ritalin, BuSpar,Tofranil& Adderall. I just took him off of everthing except Tofranil(35mg at 7pm)Today he's been ok-only mild anger & rage. When he was on the Adderall,he had alot of anger,followed by uncontrollabe crying.I'm seriosly thinking about going the enzyme route-I've heard results are excellent,but the absorption time takes 6 to 8 weeks.School starts in 2 weeks.I don't know if he can handle the pressure w/o his meds.I got him on the "504 Plan" at school at the end of the year.Hoping this helps him adjust better to 2nd grade. I can handle his 'episodes'(I've worked with neurologially/perceptually impared,ADHD,autistic,EMR,&ED kids for 15 years.)The teachers in a "REGULAR " classroom today don't have the time or patience to deal w/ kids of certain needs-this makes my work that much harder.Any input/suggestions?THANKS!Diane

I have a 7yr old who has lots-o-problems.He is on Mellaril three times a day (anti-psychotic),Adderal three times and Neurontin three times.Hes been on tenex,lithium,imipramine,ritilan,clonidine and now these. He,s been in the hospital 3 times in the last year.I don,t have any suggestions but could sure use some!!!! My daughter (9) is staying with friends now until meds are regulated.I have very limited insurance and had to turn to CPS for help.Trying to get him long-term help.
I don,t have a computer at home, but we have a po box. If you would like to use the old fashioned mail and exchange sobs and hints and tips email me and let me know.tommiesgirl25@hotmail.com
My mom will get it to me.
Stressing in Texas,
