   Its time to accept your children ! (ADD - Attention Deficit Disorder board)

23rd June 2002
Thank you mlgable I appreciate the support. Oh yes I agree that he need to talk to a health professional. His pediatrician set me up with a child psychologist. I have an appointment July 30th. Wish I could get in sooner. But it's better than nothing I guess. I also found out that my son has oppositional defiant disorder with adhd. There's really no medication for that except counseling. So That's why I made the appointment for him with this child psychologist. Anything to help him. I do feel that new drug clonidine is working with the concerta. But I can't wait until the new drugs come out for kids with add and adhd that won't be amphetamines, because that's what most of them all are. The clonidine is not an amphetamine and that's what slows him down. But his doctor wants him to take it with the concerta every morning to balance it out. So he's not hyper but not drowsy either. Then I give him 1 tablet of the clonidine at bedtime so he'll go to sleep at a decent time. Otherwise, he's up till midnight. No kidding!
He just wears you out. But we love him. His birthday is next week. Going to chuck-e-cheese!!!!
