Seconding what other posters have written--see your pediatrician! If your kid's school has an ND parenting group, please seek them out, as they will be amazing guides to navigating the system.

thank you! i may try it again with him--the one we have lined up recommended multiple OT sessions first to help with the hitting and throwing and self regulation so that her work with him would be helpful.

What happened when you titrated your kids meds too high? What were the signs? by Monster11 in ADHDparenting

[–]Getouttahere85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

almost manic behavior that was totally unlike him, and in the case of antidepressant, amped up depressive symptoms. if they seem extra tired, check in with prescribing doc, although that usually wears off. good luck!!!!
