My son is 9 years old and has been on meds for 4 years, he has had all the physical and mental tests to prove that he is only ADHD and nothing else exists. We get up around 5:45 in the morning and i give him his meds about 6 so he can get on the school bus at 6:30. well the meds he is on only lasts 12 hours (its Adderall XR 30 mg). anyhow my problem is this morning and every other morning he gets up extremely early , i am not even sure he is going to sleep at all, well he gets into things he goes outside (he is very sneaky) This morning i woke to the smell of matches, he had gotten into a collection of matches that my husband inherieted from his deceased granny he lit 3 books of matches he lit some in my daughters room near her bed!!! these behaviors do not surprise me although they do scare me, anyhow he is extremely out of control and this was the last straw!! I was thinking of inpatient care any one have any other suggestions (he does get punished by the way i dont wanna hear that)

We have tried all types of meds and Benedryl and sleeping meds make him hyper. This is NOT a displine problem he is fine on his meds, but meds only work for so long!!!
