[quote=Anonymous]I am the OP. She's on ADHD meds because while she gets good grades in school, task completion is difficult. She told us in 6th/7th that she had long been struggling with the increasing demands of middle school homework, but thought she wasn't trying hard enough.  High school homework / projects/ tests are much more demanding.  She spends hours on her computer in the evenings on "homework", although I can tell a lot of the time is not efficiently used b/c she transitions between other fun stuff online (part of it is a strategy she uses to get homework done).

I don't know the interaction with her Zoloft. She's been on 37.5 of Zoloft this whole time b/c, when in 6th/7th she came forward, there was also very marked depressive symptoms.  We've tried going down on the Zoloft, and her depressive symptoms get worse.

I'm somewhat regretting so much time on low dose Focalin, but it seemed at the time that it improved her emotional regulation. Although, when we would ask her, she would say she didn't know or wasn't sure what impact it had.
