[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about non-stimulants? Intuniv has worked wonders with emotional regulation for my DS. He can roll with the punches a whole lot better now. It's even helped a bit with attention. I know others have used this in conjunction with an SSRI to help with anxiety. [/quote] Unfortunately, Intuniv and SSRIs both carry elevated risk of suicidal ideation. With DS, he had the one incident of trying to self-harm post Focalin, plus another incident in elementary school where he had been pulled out of class for 1:1 time within he SN para-ed and told her he just wanted to die. I don’t think he meant it at the time, but we did have to have an emergency psych consult. Since then, DC psych has said no to anything with SI in the side effects list. Wellbutrin is on the shortlist, and it seems to help with ADHD & depression too.[/quote]
