[quote=Anonymous]My DD has been diagnosed with a Mood Disorder and is currently on Risperdal and Seroquel, although we are trying to phase out the Risperdal because of weight gain. She has been in and out of the hospital, has been in a day treatment/school program for the past 4 months and is improving. Wonderful team of social workers and psychiatrists working with her. Since she has mild ADD and many learning issues, they are suggesting we might try additional meds for the ADD. The thought is it would help with the impulsivity, focus, distractibility, restlessness. Talked about both stimulants or non-stimulants -- they think the stimulants might be more effective and as a possibility, suggested that we try the fast-acting meds at school to see how she reacts to them. Anybody any experience with this?[/quote]
