[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our son has extreme ADHD (inattention and impulsivity), anxiety, social pragmatic issues, and some motor planning problems.  He is very bright and is in K, in a private school.  He's been on tons of different ADHD meds and we haven't found anything really effective - and he has been horrible in school recently, including hitting a classmate, not paying attention, refusing to do anything, etc.  I am struggling so much with the realization that I don't have control over this person, and that there is only so much we can do - which is impossible for me to accept given my love for him.  Has anyone else gone through this process?  We've worked so hard for so many years to give him every conceivable therapy, resource, etc. and at a certain point it just isn't in our hands.  Obviously we will continue to do everything humanly possible to support and help him - but how do you accept the fact that it ultimately isn't in your control?[/quote]

Sounds like my DS at age 6.  At age 8 we added Prozac in addition to Adderrall.  The improvement is incredible.  I now see that his anxiety was worse than his ADHD, and now that the anxiety is under control he's doing extremely well.  Hang in there.[/quote]
