FRUSTRATED | ADHD Information

I can understand your frustration.  We have gone around in circle for many many years with one child to find the right medication.  Then you start having medications to treat the side effects of medications!!!! Now he is on the same medication as his sister!!!!  Makes life easier!!

Good luck!!

 

Just getting out some daily frustrations.  I have two wonderful sons with ADHD.  One we are on the fourth medicine with no such luck.  However, the other son, it was the first try.    Just sad and frustrated that my son has to suffer until we find the right medicine. 

Next Tuesday is another appointment with a Psych.  Hoping the fourth time will be a charm.

Thanks for listening.  Have a good day!

i'll say this i was not medicated for 32 years.

i did not mature mentally till i was 23

no drug helps any body develope faster.

but ill say this if the meds are working and helping with school and social  great!

if not you got big to do

 got get in the kids problems , interviewing him  letting him solve his own behaviors . connecting his behaviors to feelings prior to problems.

walking him through some thing he would do differently next time he has those feeling agian.

like a broken record      eventually they develope anyway.

doing the interview helps them connectold feelings  to new behaviors and they learn change grow.  with thier peers

otherwise they could get stuck in a cycle of tripping over thier own emoitions again and agian.

what im saying is sometimes when meds dont work  a parent has to step in and nudge them to figure it out for themselvs 4 times a day for 10 years.

the reward is great like watching a kid get in the ballon with the wizzard of oz

it will worh with both it takes lots of attention and only when their calm.

i know how to do it clinically but we already know how to do it.

adults just say  you alright and we say yea or no

kids just dont know if thier alright , dont even know why they do what they do

 parenyts got to get in thjier and find out if theyre gonna keep making the same mistake over and over agian thing only of what made them blow up instead of what made them start to escalate to the feelings that made them blow up.

like i said you almost dont see the changes but over time you realize they are emotionally par with thier peers and you start feel like its worth it i hope.

 

 

Just sending a big hug  because you need it. Hoping the next med will be the right one.
