TRINA:
I found this book "Healing ADD, the breakthrough program that allows you to see and heal the 6 types of add" by Daniel G. Amen, M.D. to be sooooooooo helpful, and it sounds like you could benafit from reading parts if not all of the book. It really backs up the theory that there are 6 diff types of ADD all with certain characteristics, needing somewhat different types of meds to help. It was such a great book and i remember reading just last night about one of the 6 types, and probems that usually arise, just like yours! i strongly recommend this book, i think it just gives such a great insight on ADD and it actually explains the theories and gives good eplanations on why different meds help the different type. It talks about brain chemestry and stuff. I have ready many books on ADD and i just found this one to be by far is the most helpful, and i think more people with different ADD issues can really relate to the theories. Goodluck hope this maybe helps you and others out, cause i swear this is an awsome book!>OLD MESSAGE>>> have a question for neone willing to answer. my son is on the adderol xr and experiences very bad emotional outburst with this medication. would like to try the strattera but as he is only 4 i don't know if it would work for him. just to give you some history. he is severe adhd with mild autism. he is very aggresive and hyper without medication but the adderol i feel makes him more aggresive but less hyper.would like to find a comfortable medium. please help. thanks
