I give up on ADHD

Posted by canadagirl on July 19, 2006, at 18:33:55

Yep, I give up. I need a vacation from parenting my 9 year old ADHD son. Today at his baseball game he threw a massive ritalin tantrum right in front of me and all the parents and his whole team.
I am so sick of the ritalin meds. The constant ups and downs. There is a very short window of time during the day when he is normal, and OK. The rest of the time - IT'S HELL. Either too much excitability or tantrums. I am so sick of the natural remedies, too, trying them and them not working. I am so sick of him being on the meds or not being on the meds. Sick of it all. I've also tried dexedrine and it made him a complete zombie. I've tried everything and I just give up. I think I will put myself on meds just to cope. Anything I can get my hands on.
