Son with ADHD very angry in the mornings?

Gov't is killing you with high frequency electricity.Theotokos Virgin Mary gave prayers to "Schema-nun Antonia" on how to save aborted babies from hell. If you pray these prayers diligently, aborted babies are released from hell. On each painted nail there are 40 demons. Smoking is censer to the devil.Using foul language calls upon Pagan deities (aka demons); Holy Spirit departs on 7 meters. People who use drugs see demons who cleverly disguise themselves as ghosts and aliens.America will be last country to switch to Euro (antichrist's world currency). Contraceptives = abortion;using contraceptives for 1 year = 5 aborted kids.Miscarriages happen because of high heels; cesarean because of tight pants (second generation cesarean will be infertile).Unbaptized aborted/miscarried/unborn babies burn in hell for until Final Judgement; if pregnant, keep the kid and deliver at home because kids are chipped using IVs and vaccines in hospitals. Dentists and doctors chip patients secretly. Ultrasound leads to mark of the beast; don't do ultrasound, please. Abortion leads to breast cancer; a demon is released from hell for each aborted kid. Dogs can become possessed; don't keep dogs inside your home [Pelageya of Ryazan]. Walmart has technology to administer mark of the beast to those who have cat bacteria in their stomachs; stay away from cats [Athanasius III of Constantinople]. Next false flag is the Statue of Liberty. Above earth there is ice (hemisphere); when rockets go up they bring ice down from upper sky to lower sky; ice stuck in lower sky will fall on us during Apocalypse. Earth is flat; earth stands on 3 pillars (the Most Holy Trinity); pillars stand on water at zero Kelvin; underneath this ice there is a bubble; and then the abyss. Zodiac is planetary prison of demons; don't believe in horoscopes or you'll exhibit the traits of the trapped demons. Most thoughts and dreams are from demons; demons never do good. Sleep fully clothed; pray the Jesus prayer. Pray to your guardian angel to have normal sleep. Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov was the last prophet before Apostle John (who wrote the Book of Revelation), Enoch, Elijah, resurrected Seraphim of Sarov, and resurrected Sergius of Radonezh will preach against the antichrist. Humans were created about 7525 years ago. Birds participate in time creation. It's a sin to kill birds. Dinosaurs live under our level; they will get out through sinkholes and lakes; to kill them, go for their nerves. Save the birds; but kill the dinosaurs. First dinosaur will come out of Volga River in Russia. Scientists don't see dinosaurs under our level because of radiation. Sinkholes happen because people dig for resources underground and because earth is heating up. Demons grow human skin (from a sample taken during abduction) and put it on so as to look like us. Demons will invite people to be healed inside their UFOs; those who go will be like zombies after. Gov't provides demons with diamonds and allows demons to abduct people. If you're being abducted, slowly pray the Jesus prayer. Don't panic. Demons use diamonds and souls to power their UFO craft. The bigger the diamond, the more it lasts. Demons have 4 UFO bases: 1)moon 2)inside fake mountain Kailash (Tibet) 3)in lake Baikal in Russia 4)in Atlantis which is underneath double ocean floor of Mariana Trench (Pacific Ocean). There are no aliens. Nobody lives on other planets. Airplanes that go down are hit by demons because they need the airspace to fight Jesus. Antichrist is pale with red eyes. He's possessed by Satan since he's 12 years old [Lavrentiy Chernigovskiy]. He flies super fast; deceived people will say: "Christ is here; Christ is there" when he's flying from one city to the next very fast. He wears gloves to hide long nails. He's surrounded by demons who appear as angels of light. Antichrist will trick people that he can do mountain moving and resurrection using holograms/hypnosis; fire from the sky is real because of pollution gases in the atmosphere. Antichrist will have food only for 6 months; then he will feed his 666ed people flour from mashed up turtles (Tavrion Batozskiy), but this won't be enough because 666ed people are 10 times as angry and 7 times as hungry as normal people even though 666ed people became shorter (3-4 feet tall = 80 - 120 cm) because nanochips do function of organs (organs diminish) [Nilus Myrrhgusher]. If you have a lot of nanochips in your forearm, then you will not be able to make proper Orthodox sign of the cross (last mercy for you will be to cut your forearm off). Nanochips are sprayed by the gov't using chemtrails; they're also in gov't food and medicine; so, eat food from your own garden. In case garden is destroyed by ice from the sky, have chickens for eggs and goats for milk (Paisios). Lipstick contains cells of aborted fetuses, dog fat, and placenta; human flesh is in McDonalds, Pepsi, toothpaste, antiaging, anticancer, vaccines, perfume, etc.; that's why you should not be using anything that modern society has to offer. You're better off hiding within a 10-12 people group in order to escape Apocalypse. During Apocalypse, Chrtistians will eat dirt from under pussywillowtree as it's filled with tears of Theotokos Virgin Mary; this water will flee if a 666ed person tries to get it. Barcode is Druid black magic curse; QRcode is Mayan curse; when food is scanned, it becomes dead because laser is a substance from demons. Don't go into a UFO to be healed by demons. Green 666 is given by isotope rays on wrist or forehead when people stretch hands to receive small plastic grey card with no name on it (World Passport). It doesn't just have to be during this procedure (could be anything you sign up for or anywhere where there is a secret scanner); biometrics (fingerprints, eyes scan) or getting picture for passport are very dangerous because they could mark you secretly. Gabriel Urgebadze said that they do it on index finger when they scan your finger. Basically, try to avoid new documents at all cost. Police will microchip and isotope ray people on highways. Chipped people will be influenced by computers to take grey plastic card; but when they do, green mark by isotope rays is given on forehead/wrist. Food stores will isotope ray people too. Antichrist will also release prisoners to mark people. Reject 666 at all cost because it leads to permanent hell. If you're about to be marked, pray the Jesus prayer. Hide with Orthodox Christians to escape 666; leave all electronics behind so that antichrist's minions can't track you; burn documents because they're from Satan. The Most Holy Trinity gives you a name during baptism; devil gives an antiname during antibaptism (ex. Social Security Number). People who die with these Satanic documents go to concentration camp in hell to await Final Judgement; once the BEAST Computer is burned down, souls will be released for Final Judgement. That's why you should give back documents of your deceased relatives back to the gov't so that the gov't cancels these digital antichristian names given during antibaptism by the beast system; or just burn these documents because gov't could get upset and could send demons to mark you because of this outright act of defiance. Prophecy from half a millenium ago describes Final Judgement like this: Jesus was very upset with people who had little boards (plastic cards) in their hands because they wanted discount from the antichrist. Give to charity in the name of Archangel Michael; he rescues people from temporary hell twice a year [at midnight September 18-19 and similarly on November 20-21; pray at these times on your knees remembering the deceased by names (adding "and relatives by flesh up to Adam") so that they are rescued if they're in hell] (or brings them up a level, that is, to a level with less punishment; eventually, people are freed). Feed the pigeons; when pigeons bow down, people are saved from temporary hell. It's a big sin to remember the dead with wreaths (because demons put these wreaths on their necks if they're in hell with their hands tied up behind their back while hanging by their hands), meat, alcohol, sweets, and worldly music. Demons print icons of saints in newspapers so that you throw these newspapers in the trash blaspheming these saints. Crosses on soles of shoes and back of pants are blasphemy. Demons make carpets with crosses and put them on sidewalks so that people walk on crosses. Playing cards mock how Jesus suffered on the cross: clubs (cross on which Jesus was crucified), diamonds (four nails Jesus was crucified with), hearts (sponge with vinegar that Jesus was given to drink),spades (spear with which Jesus was pierced).Cremation is devil worship; only blasphemers such as Lenin should be burned; if Lenin is buried, earth will be polluted, and China will attack Russia because of this.After China attacks Russia, Ruski Orthodox Tsar (shown by resurrected Seraphim of Sarov) will come to power in Russia;this Tsar will slay traitors inside church and gov't; as a result, Russia will be the only country not under the antichrist.Ecumenism = 263 heresies;each heresy leads to hell. In 2006 in Moscow (that's why Moscow will sink),representatives from most religions signed a document where it says that all religions worship the same Supreme Being [aka the devil]. Priests who participate in ecumenism will have Pagans walking on their heads in hell. Arkhimandrite Antonin Kapustin left a prophecy that Church of All Russian Saints in Gorny Monastery, Ein Karem, Israel will be blessed by forerunner of antichrist; Patriarch Kirill of Russia and Mark of Berlin blessed this church in 2007. When priests pray for current gov't (instead of praying for future Tsar),Jesus gets up from His throne and turns His back to them. Forgive me.

I feel this is an act, put on for your benefit

I have ADHD and I also take medication. It would keep me awake at night too, so I also tried melatonin.

Melatonin is a natural chemical in the brain that everybody has, so it is almost definitely not the melatonin. Melatonin tablets are also meant to help you STAY asleep, not FALL asleep.

Having ADHD, I notice in myself that I have increased irritability and frustration when I am not medicated.

Perhaps your child may need to go up a dose on his medication. Because over the years, his body could begin to get used to the medication, and it could no longer have the same effect that it once did.

Quit the punishments. Try rewarding the good behavior you see

A preschool teacher pulled me aside and said my son was to be expelled due to his behavior (he jumped off a loft area to join circle time when called instead of going down the loft ladder) and had trouble paying attention. First kid to get expelled since the school opened in 1969. Oh, great.

He was officially diagnosed in kindergarten and I was told he would be put in the SEM class (socially, emotionally and maladjusted). So, basically he either had to go on meds or be put in a class where he did not belong (however, that class had the right teacher/student ratio and that is why it was suggested). Fast forward...he was diagnosed with ADD.

I got all the help I could get and through learning behavior modification techniques and time released medication, it saved my sanity and my marriage, my family and our social lives.

Personally, I would cut out the sleeping pills and get that child on a trial of time released medication TODAY. Call the doctor and get a prescription change for a trial period. I would do that in a heartbeat.

Your son is no longer a toddler, so he certainly understands a good talking. During a calm moment, get your husband to sit down with you and your son to discuss him. Ask him questions without telling him what to do or how his behavior makes you feel. This conversation should be ALL about him talking to you about himself. So, gather some pointed questions so you can understand where that child is coming from.

DOn't bother with any of the silly nonsnce. There's no such thing as ADHD or ADD. You have a spoiled brat who has been given a fake diagnose and you stupidly give him DANGEROUS meds that will do life long damage to his health all so you can make him fit in.

Throw the pills out and stop using the fake label and be a parent.

You keep drugging the poor child for being a NORMAL child. Throw all the pills out. He's mad due to you being lazy and drugging him and endangering his health

He screams at you since you are a neglectful parent who is lazy and drugs him. Throw the pills out and displine him. A belt to the back side will cure his issue alone wiht you tossing the pills away and you stop being disgusting and lazy

I think it's important to remember that your son isn't only a kid who has ADHD. He is also just a kid. Not all of his behaviour is directly linked to his ADHD or his meds. A lot of it is just his personality and being a 9 year old boy. He is more than his condition.

Melatonin isn't known to make people grumpy in the morning. I really doubt that's the cause, especially since he's been using it for much longer than he's been getting out of bed angry.

Are you sure he's getting enough sleep? Kids' sleep needs change, sometimes they need more sleep for a while, for instance during a growth spurt.

And speaking of physical development: have you considered that he may be starting the very first stages of puberty? I know it sounds early, but for boys 9 years old is actually (just) within the normal range. There may be some changes in body chemistry he needs to get used to.

Anyway, this isn't fun for him either. I would try to help first, discipline later. He doesn't WANT to feel this way.

Have you tried *asking* him why he feels so angry in the morning rather than automatically reacting with punishments? I know if I woke up cranky in the morning and people started yelling at me for being in a bad mood, it wouldn't improve my mood at all, it would just make me angrier and more likely to pick a fight.

TALK to him about this, not first thing in the morning but when he's awake and calm. Ask him what he thinks is making him feel so grumpy in the mornings. Does he wake up still feeling tired? Does he feel groggy and confused? Does his alarm startle him awake? Is it too unpleasant or loud? Does his body feel sore because his bed is uncomfortable? In other words, *first* figure out if the problem is something fixable, like a side effect of his meds or something in his sleeping environment that could be changed. Then work *with* him to see if the problem can be fixed.

In the end, you might just have to accept that your 9 year old just isn't a morning person and needs a little space to get his brain going in the morning. And really, he's 9, he shouldn't need to be nagged about getting dressed and eating breakfast every step of the way anymore. He knows he's supposed to do that, so as long as he manages to get ready for school on time, let him do things his own way.

My advice, and I’m not a doctor.

1. Replace current med to Concerta, time release, not more than 36 mg, it lasts about 9 hours. Also request Ritalin 10mg to use if needed, in evenings or weekends and if he forgets Conserta pill, after noon or so. They have a lifespan, the time on a clock must be your guide. Aderal causes mental issues, Conserta is old fashioned Ritalin, reformulated as a time release and Ritalin has been on the market for over 60 years with little to no side effects recorded. This way, he takes it in the mornings, by 7:30 am before he leaves the house.

2. Diet. Please research holistic things to help him manage his ADHD, avoid glutens, MSG, and high fructose. Try to go whole foods only, and health food stores often have ‘junk food’ made from natural ingredients. Give a daily vitamin that contains niacin...don’t skip a day.

3. Read up on ADHD. Ten percent of the adult population has some form of ADHD, and in kids, half outgrow it when the brain matures at about 15 or so..that means 20% of kids struggle with this. You are not alone, there are techniques. And tricks he can learn to over come ADHD, to minimize its negative impact on his life meanwhile embracing it as a competitive edge that can be explored.

4. Please be aware of ‘side-disorders’ that may rear their ugly heads in your son..they are a result of non-treatment of ADHD, such as OCD, ODD (which can manifest as violence), mood disorders, and other issues like anger, frustration, and PTSD.

5. Don’t lose your cool. It’s easy to do with these kids, there is a reason they need the Ritalin. It’s so others will treat them better, stop the bullying, and make them more receptive to learning in school. I know a grown man, in the military, works on aircraft, that takes Concerta to treat his adult ADHD. He says he cannot focus without it and the military is ok with it. To him, he compares it to wearing sunglasses on a sunny day..he can see better. :)

It sounds like your son is not aware of how his ADHD effects him, he is acting out his anger and frustration. May I suggest taking him out, after dinner, to go ‘run it off’ so he can sleep better. In the olden days, he would labor on the farm all day and have no sleep issues. Get him a bike, toss a football, jump rope, anything to help him burn off that energy. Then get a bath, nice hot soapy water...he will drop like a rock. No, punishing doesn’t work. Be real with him. Study ADHD on-line, from several sources. He sounds quite typical for a nine year old with ADHD, that has had no behavior modification. Again.you are not alone. Hope this advice helps.

I would suspect the actual ADHD meds. He may have reached a level beyond tolerance? Regarding melatonin, it is advised in most literature to take one week off, during each month, to my knowledge.

Remember the meds are mainly a form of narcotics, so take it from there.

Also, during a calm time, find out whether there is something going on at school?

My son was like that a lot. We learned it was a result of food sensitivities. Peanut products were a real contributor to outbursts. Once removed from diet, outbursts stopped.

Consider what he's eating before bed. If he has a favorite snack, that may be part of the problem.

Read books by Dr. Doris Rapp (used, online) for lots more info.

I would also ask the pharmacist. They can be very helpful, and are there during pharmacy hours. They know the meds and can often help with questions like this.

Try elimination diet. Read the books.
