Hi all,
Just wondering . . .Are there any other meds besides the ones I will list that can be tried for ADD? My son has tried all of these at different times during the last 10 years. He is now 18 and we still haven't found the "one" that works for him. He has tried: STraterra, Ritalin, Dexadrine, Clonidine, Tenex, ADderall, Adderall XR, Wellbutrin, and many others that I really can't place right now. Are there any that are new or unusual that I can suggest to his psychiatrist. He has add but also ocd and learning disabilities. What seems to help one, disrupts the others. He is right now flunking most of his hs courses. His focus to totally gone, hard to get motivated, and acts impulsively. What can I try with him?
