Is a psychiatrist the one giving him the meds. My son was diagnosed with the same when he was 4 and was on Metadate, clonidine and imprimine. It seemed to help some what but then all of a sudden he would have these fits and then be in tears in a matter of minutes. He is now 13 and last year they stated he was not ADHD but bipolar. He is on different medications for bipolar now and seems to be doing better still having problems in school but he seems to be getting better. The two diagnosis are very close and there are web sites that give you the differences between the two. Also it may just be the emotions of the separation. But I would double check with the dr. They do make mistakes. Good luck

It could be that the meds need adjusting or changing so ask the Doctor about them I have heard this before and its usually med related .Good Luck..
I would suggest counseling for your child. Maybe start with the school counselor first then if that doesn't work out in your favor, try outside in the community. You can get him referred to a psychologist or a psychiatrist who specializes working with children through your family doctor. He is obviously reacting to the splitting of his parents and is probably very confused. Probably feels like he has to choose between his parents. Try to talk with him about his feelings and making him feel like he matters. Do stuff with him that he wants to do and let him know that he can come to you at any point and time to talk to you. This is going to be the most difficult part of his life which is why he is acting the way he does. He is seeking attention. Is there anyway that you can speak with his mother about this? Is she willing to listen and talk with you. Are you willing to do the same with her? Both of you have to think of your child and how this is all affecting him and try to make as less painful to him as possible. Good luck.
