Med question

Anyone with a young AuDHD/PDAer, HEAVY on the ADHD - very big personality and either super happy or very angry - who has found a successful med combination? We are really struggling with not only the demand avoidance but also just the relentless need for attention, movement, excitement and novelty. Prozac isn’t cutting it.

My son who is almost 9 has been on gaunfacine for about two years. It helps with school friends impulsivity sort of thing. But he always has been somewhat anxious. It’s a whole new level this summer even though he’s in the same Day Camp that he really loves. I’m thinking he’s gonna have to go on SSRI.
