[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS (10) takes adderall for h/i adhd. He hates taking it and says 'it changes me' but then also says 'I can't tell the difference'. Concerta family was not good. WE can tell the difference, and so can the school. But DS is SO offended by this idea that we are trying to make him 'less him' with medication. Recently it has become apparent that he needs his afternoon booster back (he asked us to pause it to see how he did but i consistently am getting feedback from school about bad decisions being made in the afternoon). I told him that i think he needs it back and he cried.. And scrunched into a ball. 
I feel so bad. This sh*t is so hard. [/quote]

Tell him everyone has something. [b] My dd has epilipsy and adhd but can't take the adhd medicine due to the increased chance of seizures.  She also has autism. [/b] I try not to have her focus on whats wrong and focus on what is good with her and how lucky we are.  That helps[/quote]

Pp, my ds has epilepsy, adhd h/i and autism. We have not started on adhd medicine yet. His emotional regulation has been better, and teachers find him pleasant in school.  He is in hyper mode every day and he has the kind of epiliepsy that cause his brain not sleeping every night. He has a ton of things going on, like school, aftercare, sports, swimming, screentime and etc, and he is happy & energetic mode day in/out. Is it true that adhd adhd medication increases the chances of seizures, the stimulant or non- stimulant ones? Whom say that? We are looking into epiliepsy treatment now. [/quote]
