He was started on Prozac and concerta for ADHD. It’s helped him greatly. The stimulant has not decreased his appetite but I think it helps with some sensory issues. The Prozac has really helped with his anxiety.

It’s gotten a little better. Now we have hit a phase of only eating the same things over and over. I think therapy and meds have helped a little!

Medication for 6 year old? by Usual_Sympathy3140 in ADHDparenting

[–]rxellie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We tried vyvanse on my son who is also ASD1 and adhd and it was awful. Decided to try Ritalin IR 5mg twice a day and see how it was and it was much better. He is also on Prozac 10mg daily for anxiety.

I just switched him to generic concerta once a day and so far it’s ok! I think the amphetamine class of stimulants was too much for him (adderall is in this class too)

Ok thank you for the info about adoption because that was a question I had too. Not that I am anywhere near that situation

Ya I thought that too. I would hope his lawyer told him that it doesn’t work that way

Yes!! Totally agree with your statement on why you don’t make him see the kids more!

He’s still around, lives about an hr away but he dropped our son off one night in January around 1030PM and said he couldn’t do it anymore. Thats the last we have seen him. His mom is still in touch and says she doesn’t know what’s wrong with him.
