[quote=Anonymous]This can be so disheartening. I go through ups and downs with it. Here are some thoughts: My DS sounds different than your DD (he can be emotional and impulsive, though not hyperactive), also high IQ and low memory (maybe also low processing speed?) Guanfacine and Stratera combined seem to be doing okay by him, but we have to be proactive about increasing them when he gains weight. I was shocked last year when he gained about 2 lbs and his Dr increased a dose by something like 15 mcg. Possible your kid had a growth spurt? And how many doctors have you worked with? Not all prescribers are great for all families/kids. Might be worth calling up a few others in your abundant free time, presenting the difficulty, and saying, Do you think you would be helpful here? I think/hope these Drs do want to help kids and might be honest about saying, "I don't know if I could offer anything new to the mix" or "Yes, I think I might have some new ideas to try." Good luck.[/quote]
