[quote=Anonymous]Anyone have a teen with ADHD that is more the mind racing, impulsive, emotional deregulation than say hyperactive or inattentive? Stimulants don’t seem to work on her. It doesn’t make her worse, but it’s like they are placebos. I see no difference. Tried Methedate and Concerta and increased both. I know they are similar. Psychiatrist said we can try a different stimulant or a mood stabilizer, specifically Lamictal. Maybe try Clonidine if I didn’t want to do a mood stabilizer. She seemed to lean on Lamictal though. She is currently on Wellbutrin in AM and Buspar twice a day. This has worked well than any SSRI. She just needs something else to help with impulses and emotions. I feel like she is always looking for dopamine highs. Through impulsive decisions, arguing, controlling others type of situation. Something to calm the mind or give her a pause to make a decision. Does this make sense? Anyway just looking for any input. [/quote]
