I CANT DO IT ANYMORE!!!!!!!
well we just got back from the dr and found out he has lost alot of weight no growth what so ever he lost weight so the dr put himn on a med that will help him gain weight and adjust his aditude well we will see how things go tiggertigger.... that sounds like you have my child I am dealing with it as I speak,,,, but I keep telling myself "I still love him: I try to ignore all the remarks but when he hits me that really hurts. He is on Strattera and I made a posting too and what everyone is saying i am wondering if that is his problem. Hang in there we are all in the same boatHi . If I didn't know better I swear I wrote that post. It is so unbelievalbly frustrating sometimes that you think, this is it, I just can't do this anymore. But then I calm down, remind myself that he can't help it and go at it somemore. I wish I could help you with the meds but we're all in the same boat, trial and error, hit and miss. We just took our son off the adderall xr after about 18 months because as the dose went up he developed so many ticks, picking his arms, grinding his teeth, grunting, just amazing. We've had some luck this past week with just straterra 25 mg in the morning(been taking that for 3 months in evening in combo with adderall in am and clonidine to get him to sleep, which didn't work). I know there's no miracle pill for instant results but try cutting down on his sugar and junk food, if he's on any, that also really made a difference for us. Anyway, be strong, your not alone. Hope I helped somehow.
yes you did help thanks i actually feel better now i went rt to the puter and just tuned him out and he did come and bug me tell his favorite cartoon came on now i fee so much better and just reading ur post knowing that i am not alone in thsi feels wonderful i know i am not the only one that gets this way Hey tigger.....

HangInThere Tigger- he needs you. We have all been at the end of our ropes before.
Sounds like you need a break though. Steal a few moments for yourself somewhere to reflect on the fact that God chose YOU to do a really big, important and extremely difficult job. He knows what he is doing.
(I am not a really religous person but I do beleive this is true)
i would love too i have tried many times (joking) to give him away but no one wants to take him because he is a handfull but all in all he is a wonderful little boy i do love alot he says so many funny thingsWell .. when Matty acts up I jokingly tell him that I need a new baby that doesn't swear or hit or whatever and that I knew I shouldn't have bought a baby from the blue light special! (He's old enough to understand sarcasm and does not for an instant think that I am serious) It usually makes him laugh or at least role his eyes at me. But I gotta admit that there are times when I wish I could trade him in for a couple of hours .. just to get a break. Don't feel bad or alone .. we all feel that way sometimes.i am so tired of my son not listening or tryin to annoy me and tellin me everything is stupid at this moment i cant do this anymore i am so tired of this i want to give him away i feel like i am the worst parent on earth rt now because i cant handle my adhd son i can handle all of my kids but him why i dont know i get so sick of him tryin to annoy me and not listen to me well at least he goes to see the dr here in a few hoursto see what type of meds we are going to put him on i just hope it is something that changes him right away nothin that takes 3 weeks to see results i understand that the meds aint going to help with everything but just to help enough to give us a little bit of relief does anyone have any sudjetions on to what type of meds are the best to try we have tried stratterra that made him mean when we did get it down which was amazing if we did and we also have tride clondine which just put him to sleep so any thing that any one can help with before his dr app. we go in this afternoon please help anyone
Hi just wanted to say I have a 6 year old boy who is the same way. He is on Adderall XR 15mg. Let me tell you without it I want to strangle him, He talks so much he never shuts up,he interupts he yells jumps on the furniture, swears, never sleeps, always has to be doing something. He cannot just sit there and do nothing for him to sit with us and relax watching TV he cant. Even on the medicine he is a twitch. The medicine has helped with the bouncing off the walls and has helped with his concentration and school work the teacher noticed the difference right away I never told her until a week later that he was on it. I have found side effects of not wanting to sleep, loss of appetite, and a sniffling he has developed which he says he cant stop. He is a great little boy when the medicine works. He is very loving, and caring, very helpful around the house but at times Well you know. I have always said when we go places I dont worry about someone taking him because after 10 minutes they would bring him back. I was just happy to read your posting to know that I am not alone raising a little boy with the same issues. I would never trade him for the world but I would love some help on how to make him relax and be that wonderful boy I know he can be.
