I am happy to report that I took my son off the adderall and resperidal 12 days ago. We put him on prozac and he seems to be much happier and aware. I didn’t like what I saw with the risperidal. His teachers called me twice this past week and were happy with what they saw from him during the week. (A smile is worth a thousand words.) I have noticed that he is more hyper. I wasn’t quite sure why the doctor took him off the adderal other than maybe he wanted to try and rule out adhd. I know we still have a long way to go, trust me he wasn’t at all thrilled to go to school this week-but- atleast he is having some positive days. I just wanted to share this with you all. thanks
Thank you!
Thank you for directing me to that site. It will be very helpful I can tell. I’ve already registered there and posted a topic.
I read with interest your topic posted regarding taking your child off Adderall. I was not familiar with the other drug you spoke of. I am interested because my son was recently diagnosed with ADD. My doctor has not given me a script yet but will be giving me one for Adderall. He would like me to have my 11 year old son tested for LD before he starts him on the Adderall. My question is why you took your chld off the drug. Was there a problem with it? I am so new to this world and am very anxious about putting my son on any drug. Please help me out with some information. Thank you so much!![/b]
