Ok we are adding another one to the mix in the hope we can nip that anxiety in the butt. (Boy 10)

It’s been such an exhausting and emotional journey to date trying different things so please share your success stories with me. I need to hear that this can work and there is hope 🙏🏻

TLTR

Sertraline wasn’t a good fit

Concerta and Intuniv is helping with regulation to a degree

Clonidine and Melatonin for sleep

But anxiety is still a big issue and stopping him from going to school and fight / flight melt downs

It’s been over 3 months since diagnosis (boy 10) and we have tried stimulants, non stimulants, SSRI, therapy, a combination. We see glimpses of hope and then things go downhill again.

Recently had 3 good weeks on Concerta and Intuniv 1mg.

Went up with the Intuniv to 2mg and a full week of horrible bed time agitation again and he doesn’t sleep till 10-11pm!

He hasn’t been to school at all in months!

Our number 1 problem is disregulation and that seemed to be addressed in those good weeks but it still wasn’t enough to get him back to school either.

I am honestly starting to lose hope a bit.

Will we ever get back to a normal life again 🫩🫩🫩
