10-year-old has tried practically every medication over half of her life, and nothing seems to work.
My daughter is diagnosed ADHD, Dyslexia, Anxiety and Slow Processing. We have tried every stimulant under the sun. They all make her full of rage. We have also tried practically all the anti-depressants, anti-anxiety medications. Sometimes they'll work for a few months and then we're back to rage. It seems we're always trying something, adjusting, then titrating down over and over again. She masks at school, but once she's home, she unleashes the beast. Even when she's at different summer camps that she loves, the same thing happens.
She has been evaluated twice for ASD, both times evaluators say she doesn't "check all of the boxes". Has anyone else dealt with this? It feels so hopeless, all we want is for her to be a happy kid. It's so hard to see her struggling and for so long.
I should also mention we have tried ADHD training, play therapy, talk therapy, and art therapy. We're currently in weekly family therapy. She will soon hopefully have her own separate therapist.
Anyone else in the same boat?
