IS HE ON MEDS? DO YOU HAVE AN OFFICIAL DIAGNOSIS? MEDS SHOULD HELP THE ISSUE, WE ARE ON VYVANSE RIGHT NOW AND IT IS HELPING SOME(NOT DOSED UP YET) WHEN WE WERE ON FOCALIN HE WAS ANOTHER BOY AND DID ALL HIS SCHOOLWORK GREAT BUT HAD NO PERSONALITY AND HE DIDN'T LIKE THE WAY IT MADE HIM FEEL..

Thanks for your response. Yes, I just changed his meds from Adderall to Concerta and I hope that works. I'll keep ya posted..

Tonija, just curious, why did you switch from Adderall to Concerta? We just put my son on Adderall (it's only been a little over a week). For some reason I'm nervous having him on this, and am always watching out for strange side effects. I have that same attitude problem with my son (he's 14). Trying to get him to do a little thing turns into a yelling battle, I tend to lose my temper quickly, and we both have to have the last word or be right. I have noticed though, since he's been on the Adderall, he's been more cooperative and less argumentative. Something as little as telling him to get off the phone can turn into a screaming battle. And I feel horrible every morning when I take him to school and we fight the whole way. I hate that he starts his school day off like that, cuz it's not like his day isn't tough enough already! thanks~~
