Hi Folks.....get this....I took off of Adderral the last day of school

(Wednesday) and guess what? I am ALREADY seeing a difference! He is MUCH

CALMER! I know the Adderral is a " stimulant " , but that word doesn't mean

what it implies, my doc had said...it's supposed to " stimulate " the brain to

make them more focused, but, unfortunately, makes the rest of them

stimulated, too!!

When took Ritalin, he did good for awhile, then really got out of

control....wonder if this is what happened with Adderral, too?! I can't wait

to tell doc this at next visit on 31st....he will STILL need something,

though, when school starts, or will he?!

Still on Risperdal and Clonidine (of course we can't stop Clonidine cold

turkey because of the BP levels) so we will see where this goes......

Just wanted to let you guys know.....maybe he needed a " break " from the

stimulant.......
