I'm not a very patient person and I've never claimed to be. As the mom of two boys however I've learned to bite my tongue until it bleeds and my nails have never been shorter. I TRY to hold my temper in front of my boys hoping to teach them to be slow to anger even though I am NOT. Aubrey is on numerous meds most are vitamins but he does take 1/2 mg of tenex in the morning and the other half at nite which makes a whole mg tablet in a days time. He takes this for his ADHD when he doesn't he bounces off the wall and can't sit still and you just can't get him to focus. For the last few months they have worked well. He has been doing well in school except for playtime where he becomes a bully. He pushes kids down, takes their toys, and it just plain mean. This has now spilled over into home life, he's being utterly destructive : breaking windows, throwing things, hanging clothes from fan blades, pulling mattresses off beds, beating up bubba, then stripping bubba naked!!! This is my life, and I'm worried. As far as developmentally he's ahead of most Kindergartners, it's just his behavior we're experiencing the troubles with. I have NO clue why this medicine has quit working and he is CONSTANTLY in trouble in school.
I know it's gonna be the death of me but I was watching tv and saw this thing on IED it's a disorder where people just have a burst of anger and right after they feel bad. Now normally I wouldn't pay this much attention and think it was someone making an excuse but I was talking to Aubreys teacher and she was telling me she could recongnize that his meds aren't working and that when he does the bad things he doesn't mean to. Instantly he feels remorse, he knows its wrong he just can't stop himself from doing it.
My question is should I mention IED to the Dr? Does this seem serious? Does anybody have any suggestions because my son is struggling and I don't know what to do.
