Reward symptoms and conditions

hi kim123.
we are not mad at you for trying it at all. if it makes you feel better then that is all that matters. i tried diazepam to help me,it didn't, but that may have been because i was still taking yasmin at the time. We all make our own choices about what to take and what not to. if you feel you need for something then you should be able to take whatever you need to feel better. no-one here will judge you i promise. None of us is going to get a medal for coping with or without medication,our reward will be that we get better no matter how we get there.
best wishes to you kim.

Mydaughter is 8 and in second grade. She has been diagnosed with adhd. We have been taking adderall xr for about a month and a half. While the school day goes well for her, the afternoons and ugly for us. She is very agitated, cries for nothing and irratic for about 1-2 hours. We also have a hard time getting her to sleep. Her doctor prescribed Lunesta 1 mg, but it takes a long time for her to go to sleep. We start around 9:00 or10:00 and it takes a good 1 1/2 hours to get her to go to sleep. She does not sleep thru the night either and has never been a good sleeper. ALong with this add she also has hydrocephalus. While this works great for her attention problem in school, it is very exhausting for me in knowing how to handle her moods, outbursts and the sleep issues. Any advice on either? Thank you
