[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 275674, member: 1550"] If it were me, I'd take him to a neuropsychologist for another evaluation. Obviously the Focalin isn't doing the trick, and it sounds like more to me than ADHD--Focalin and other stims can make some disorders even worse. Rather than helping impulsivity, it can actually making one MORE impulsive (after all, it IS speed). He sounds very angry, and I'd want to have him evaluated all over again. A neuropsychologist tests for 6-10 hours. Why not tell us more? How was his early development? Can he socialize normally? Any psychiatric problems or substances abuse on either side of his family tree? [/QUOTE]
