Hi Jen,

If I remember correctly, you upped the stimulant recently, right? That can increase anxiety. The demands of school also gradually increase, and we're in the "honeymoon's over" phase of the school year. That can make this a tough time of year.

I would suggest being open to exploring the possibility of adding another med; as you know, for our DS, an SSRI was necessary to treat the anxiety and really reduced these meltdown situations at school.

I don't think teachers necessarily always have a good handle on the issue of meds, but if they feel something's not right, I suspect you should pursue that question with your DS's doctor.

Feel free to PM.
