This is REALLY getting old!!!

I cant give up, but I do feel my daughter has some control over her actions, I think Im going to have to let her fall and see if that will help her see more of whats going on. I have tried and not that Im giving up, but she just refuses to the point that I'm depressed and stressed to the limit worried about my job, because Im at her school for her behavior left and right. Im starting to find her meds more and more that she havent taken and was suppose to right in my face, I just dont know what to do!!!!! Whats the use in going to the doctor, when its not helping her???

A choice.

Let your daughter know that she has two options when it comes to dealing with her ADD: 1) continue to do nothing, which results in an endless spiral, or 2) adapt to her condition and overcome the difficulties and challenges that come with.

I cant and I wont give up!

Thank you, and that is basically what I told her, I think I work really hard for her, she's in a really good school that you can only get in by a drawing, but if things dont start to change real soon, she could be in an alternative school and I wasn't really trying to do that but her grades have been up and down and down and she just wont do her work want to socialize ALL of the time. But anyway we went back to the doctor yesterday morning and she's back on Concerta which seemed to be the only medicine that works out of all that she's tried over the years. There's HOPE!!!
