My son was diagnosed w/ADHD 3yrs ago. He currently takes Aderall XR 20mg & it seems to help his focus at school.Here is my problem,he is very whiny,has a major temper problem & in general drives his father & myself nuts.Just this evening,he was in with his 7yr old brother playing.He went to the bathroom & proceeded to yell loudly about what he was "doing" Then he decided to change his clothes,his brother walked in the room & he proceeded to shriek naked all over the house.I then told both of them to go to bed, a little earlier than normal,but they were driving me nuts.The 7yr old went to bed no problem,the 9yr old started crying hysterically,yelling at me "why" & "come on" I was losing it so my husband came in & told him to go to sleep & he started yelling like we were killing him.This is a nightly adventure for us & through the internet,I feel more comfortable discussing this issue.I don't want family & friends to think I am a bad parent or my kid is nuts. Please Help !! I need advice
