[QUOTE="DDD, post: 517344, member: 35"] difficult child#1 has taken ADHD stims since he was five or six. He continued taking them until he dropped out of high school and I cut the medication supply off...BUT after his brain surgery he was all confused and way off target at the rehab hospital. I didn't see an end in sight and finally insisted that an adolescent psychiatrist be called in for a consultation. Lucked out and got a good one. He put difficult child back on stims and within two days he could communicate normally, take independent showers, go to the bathroom on his own and began PT. It was like a miracle...truly. For my difficult child the stims were not associated with addiction. He just needed the stimulant to function. Once recovered since he was no longer going to school etc. we stopped the Concerta.
