It : It sounds like lots of medicines have been tried. It might help to make a list of the behaviors that are causing you the most trouble. Next, make a list of the medicines, and if they helped. In the list of medicines, include "nothing" and something like a favorite teddy bear, because maybe these worked just as well, and that information helps. When you have a list of your top three goals, it will be easier to select treatments. Maybe one goal is an easier bedtime. Maybe he wakes several times at night and you aren't getting sleep. Maybe he has sudden anger outbursts. Bring this information, in writing, to your next appointment. I hope this helps.

A common problem: Finding the right medication, including possibly no medication, can be a real challenge. The problem is that sometimes the cure is worse than the disease. Find a sophisticated child psychiatrist (the university of alabama is a good place to start) who can work with you to find an optimal treatment. Remember that unfortunately you may have to live with some symptoms to avoid worse side effects.
