| Re: Please help, son is impusive
I can't tell you what is the right thing to do, but here are my 2 first impressions...
The first thought is that your son must be in the *same school* as my son used to attend! Detention for talking loudly??? Puh-lease! I personally believe detention should be reserved for more serious behavioral problems. Try not to be too alarmed when he gets detention for minor infractions like this.
The second is to talk to his doctor. It doesn't sound like he is getting optimum benefit from the Strattera alone. Perhaps he could benefit from a dose change, an additional med, or a different medication. While my son still doesn't see the need to put alot of effort into his school work, I have noticed he's definitely more interested in extra-curricular activities since beginning medication.
