[quote=Anonymous]My almost 16yo son has had a hard time finding a med that helps with his severe ADHD inattentive type. I actually made the psychiatrist really break it down for me at the last visit and go down the list of every drug we've tried since he was in 3rd gr. He's done a bunch of stimulants and one non-stimulant. What I found was that the previous doctor we were seeing just kept trying new stimulants in the same class (is that the right word?? there's the adderall/amphetamine side and then there's the ritalin/methylphenidate side). She kept giving him different methylphenidates and none of them worked. So I suggested we try one from the amphetamine side. We're only four weeks in, but for the first time ever, he's reporting that it's working and we're seeing homework completion like we've never seen before. Point is, maybe keep trying and really look at what you've tried and haven't tried and see if there is any pattern. [/quote]
