My son is in limbo right now with meds. He just came off of teh Clonidine he was on for motor tics. The doc said he has enough control on his own now. Meanwhile, he is still taking Risperdol for impulsive behaviour. His ADHD is out of control because the doctor said if he takes the medication for ADHD, he will develop the motor tics again. This was when he was on Ritalin. He is 14 years of age, and too young for the Adult ADD meds and, personally, reading of teh side effects, I wouldn't feel safe for him.
Are there any meds a teenager could take that can control the tics AND help his ADHD? The school system has nothing but complaints about his behaviour and his self esteem and my patience are diminishing within the school system. |
