I'm looking some advise please, my son who's now 15, was diagnosed with a.d.d when he was 8 yrs old.
He's been on many tablets which did help and got him through the school hours, but after approx 3pm he became hyper(he was not hyper before diagnosis).
This has happened with every pill he has been given, he's now on elvanse 70 mg, I've been to the peaditrician whom has said he's on the highest dose and there is nothing else that can be done.
I've searched the web and I can find nothing that compares to his behaviour, I'm literally loosing my mind with the hyperness, the crude remarks he make, the bad language, the bitterness, not to mention his dangerous and repetitive habits, he would take knives/screw drives and repeatedly stab at wall's, he would punch walls and doors,he plays with light switches and socket switches also, he would say/do many things listed here but then later he would deny all knowledge of the event, I dint know if he's playing dumb to get away with things or if he's actually forgot 😐
My lovely wee man has turned into a monster..... as he's got older things have got a lot worse, he would swear and repeatedly call me a bad mother until he has me in tears, at that point he would tell me I'm crying because I know he's right and I am a bad mother 😢. If I don't break down and i stand my ground he will actually get right into my face with his fists clenched and call me all the names under the Sun 😯 (I've heard him in his bedroom afterwards talking to himself, saying he's going to punch me/stab me).
I need help, from day one it was just meds he was prescribed, no information on his condition, no support and apparently there is no support groups for him or me to help deal with any of his side effects.
I would appreciate your words of wisdom, ideas to help him become less angry, is he meant to become hyper with this medication? Anything you can offer me would be a blessing as I have mental health problems of my own and I feel like I'm loosing more of myself as every day goes by 😦
