Dr. Art...

Can you tell me what RAD is?

Also...I noticed you said that when someone is diagnosed with ADHD and they start taking the medications...then the seem to stop working, that usually will indicate a misdiagnosis...is that correct?

I am having a heck of a time trying to get my son on a medication that will help him...he has been diagnosed with ADHD, and for over a year, we have been playing the RX game. He started with 16 MG of Concerta, then 32 MG, then 54(?) MG...all of which he seemed to "outgrow"

We tried Stratterra when it came out on the market, he took the max for his weight, and it only made him very tired...it didnt seem to help much at all.

A few weeks ago his MD put him on Ritalin, but that seems to work less than the Stratterra did.

I've got a call in to the Dr to try Adderall, but I am really starting to question the diagnosis all together.

What are some other things that mimic ADHD? I just want to do some research. If the adderall doesnt do it, we are going to see a psychiatrist...but I'd like to go with as much information as I can...I feel like we have messed around with is long enough!
