[QUOTE="shellyd67, post: 383259, member: 6371"] Ahhhh Jules I feel your pain darling ! It is such a long and windy road with medications.... Since we increased our difficult child to 36mgs things have been better. I won't say MUCH better, or great, wonderful or that Concerta has been a miracle, yada, yada, yada.... It took over a year to find the proper dose. In reading your post, I noticed you said the an associate in the psychiatrist's office said that is x,y,and z do not work that difficult child may be on the autism spectrum. The thought has crossed my mind with our difficult child many, many times. We had an independent evaluation and a neuropysch evaluation (both cost us big bucks, but worth EVERY penny) and they both concluded he was not on the spectrum. When I read or respond to posts on the forum many people have said to me my difficult child sounds like an aspie. Frankly, some of the parents on this site have more experience that psychiatrist,tdocs, etc.... they have been down this tough and long road and for lack of a better term, been there done that. My difficult child has never had any major school issues (fingers crossed) he does of course display ADHD behaviors at school with focus and attention but never any ODD behaviors. We are just doing what works for difficult child and our family. I wish you luck but hang in there. You will find the right mix soon! [/QUOTE]
