Thumbs up ADD/ODD/BP been so long since i've been here

Just an update on my son. He is now on 25mg of Abilify, and OMG!!! what a difference this year in school!! passing, has only missed one day of school so far, had to pick him up from school and take him to doctor, as he was sick. ON my days off last year, he would complain of not feeling good, and practically argue that he was not going to school. has only tried that once this year, but after he went to school, that was the day i had to take him to the doctor. NO detentions, infraction papers from teachers, and pretty much remembering to turn in his HW. and also,,,,,,,,he tells me that he has HW, as last year he told me he didn't have HW. his behavior is so much better. yeah......there's the typical teenage behaviors sometimes.......but OMG, that's nothing compared to B4! got 1st progress reports this year,,,,no F's. comparing to last years, almost to the date,,,,,,,,,,he had 4 F's!! and he did make it to the 7th grade this year also.
Always in by curfew time, 8:30 on weekdays and 9pm on weekends, and is usually always in before curfew, in bed and asleep by 10 on school nites......awesome for him. and right now, it's sat. evening, and he was alseep by 11p. no more arguing about when he is supposed to be in bed on school nites.

things are finally looking up for him.......I'M SOOO HAPPY FOR HIM!!
and ALOT less stressful for me

take care

Re: ADD/ODD/BP been so long since i've been here

Shellie ~ That is such wonderful news!!! You deserve it for all of the hard work you put into finding your son the help that he needed!!

Isn't it grand when you see your kid thriving again after being in the depths of an abyss??!! There is hope if we just follow our gut and not give up on them when that's all that they want to do with life!!

My daughter has also finally found stability with her BP/ADD. She is doing exceptionally well and although she still has some ADD traits they are not significant enough to put her on any ADD meds that may upset her stability. There is a mom over on the BP board who just added Strattera after her son was doing so well and he is now suicidal and in a deep depression. Since my daughter is doing so well in school (she has an 89.6 weighted GPA just starting her Junior year of HS and this all coming after being hospitalized last year 4 times in 3 months and after two suicide attempts!!)

I thought I would never get her back and like you I am now celebrating her wonderful progress!!

I am sooo happy for you and pray that your son continues to do well.

Congrats to you, mom for a wonderful job done!!

Love & (((((HUGS))))) ~ Goody
