Yes. Once an ADHD kid loses it, they lose it. Kicking, punching, screaming, biting. It's why D7 is in her fifth school in four years and helped up the tension level at the (old) house.


Um, not to push any buttons, but have you had her tested yet for other behavioral or mental issues? Which ADHD med is she on? I can tell you that my son was on Adderall and it made him very angry and mean and he would blow up and have a meltdown every other day or so. We found that he had a bad reaction to the active ingredient in Adderall so we switched him to Concerta and he has been 100% better. No more meltdowns. There is a wonderful drug that we had him on before he outgrew it called Daytrana. It is a patch that you put on in the morning. No pill to swallow and since it's transdermal it delivers the extended dose much better than an XR capsule. It is the same active ingredient as Concerta.

Just my experience. You might want to bring it up to her doctor.
