See about getting her dose raised, or maybe even having the drug completely switched. My son took a break from his ADHD drugs for a month in the summer, because it was to the point of where he was becoming immune to them. He would also do stupid things, to where he "thought" he could use ADHD as a crutch, and we started correcting him on them, the last time that I had to take a belt to his A** was when he was 16, mind you~he was at the time 6'2" and over 400#, big fella. Still is, Now he is getting his **** together at the age of 21 and is more of a joy to be around. Took himself off of prescription drugs. it's a tough journey, I feel for you! If it helps: she will probably never grow out of it, but~she will grow up! Keep letting her know who is boss, or... you will have TROUBLE. Are there any Youth Groups around your area? My son went to one, and the Pastor's son, would act like a big bro to him, it really helped. Good Luck.

Has this been confirmed by your doctor or do you just think she has adhd because of her behaviour?
If this has been confirmed by the doctor then I am sure methods of treatments would have been offered to your daughter and regular assessments would be made. And there are help/support groups for parents and children with behaviour issues which I would strongly advise you to find in your local area. Even something as simple as reacting diferently yourself can help change a teens behaviour it is just a matter of you getting support and advice on how and what to try which is often from people who have experienced it themselves.

I'm guessing that the doctor had diagnosed ADHD? Talk to the doctor about the problems you are having. I believe that a healthy diet without colourings, E numbers and artificial additives could possibly help. I seriously suggest talking to the doctor though because without the proper treatment, support and care you are doing everyone involved damage.

Get all the help you can. There are plenty of organisations, i.e. NCH and Family and Support Groups that will help not only your daughter, but other members of the family, including brothers or sisters who may not be getting the attention that they need. Its not that she is a bad girl - she has a problem that needs patience and calmness to sort out. Prepare for hard times, prepare to speak openly and honestly about your feelings to others and you should get the help you need.

No matter what she throws at you in life, if you make sure there is love aimed at her in return no person on the planet can maintain hate forever. she will see your a good guy and turn slowly. But love has to be constant not as you fancy. And always be fair but make sure your on her side with day to day problems.

How do you know she has ADHD? Self diagnosis? Cause a doctors job is to prescribe a treatment pattern , right?

She needs counseling definately. I'd enroll her in a mental health program and set some tough guidelines for acceptable behavior.

Depends on the age of the teen... If she is 16+ see about throwing her out...
If she is younger, then see about watching the BBC, there is a programme about troublesome teens...
Might also be details on the BBC Parenting website...
