which way?

It has been a very busy summer and I can't tell you what we have done.  a lot but nothing specific.  The other day I quit giving Brandon's his ADHD meds.  He said they didn't work.  He was exhausted from camp and so I thought why not?

Then it happen.. he grabbed at everything and hitting things for sound and jumping all around and getting wild up over little things.  But he was calmer about it... had to be re directed a bit but calm.. not angry but mellow er if that is a word.  So then we got to the point he was so grabby and so in your way that I thought let me medicate him so we can get on without  3,000 re directs (ok a bit exacterated).  He was great with his brother but they both had 12 hours of sleep.  Then it happen... a moment that turn the whole day ugly.  Why we can't get past this... I will never know.  a small incident but enough for Brandon do think the worst in everything after that.. His focus althoug much better, was self absorb.. He was focused but ony worried about himself not the others around him and yet yesterday he was good with this.

So which do I want?  An angry person over one thing because it stays in his mind or a mellow boy who you have to stay on top of and re direct.. redirect.... redirect... redirect...

How many drugs have you tried? Is it worth trying another one to see if that works better? Sorry that there isn't a magic pill
