[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 539826, member: 11791"] You've got an ostrich for a doctor. There's only two options on the diagnosis. Either your difficult child is something else entirely, OR he really is ADHD [I]plus a few other things added in[/I]. It's one or the other. There's no way this is "just" ADHD. (I live in a family with 4 different flavors of ADHD... and related to even more flavors.) Any chance Concerta is making things worse? Well, it's definitely not making things better. And in my experience, the Ritalin family (which includes Concerta) is usually black and white - when it works, it works well. If it isn't working well, it's not the right drug. And then, on top of that, yes, different people can react differently, and various adverse or atypical reactions to Concerta are not rare. He needs a comprehensive evaluation. Plus Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation for Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) and motor skills. That's just for a minimum. (JMO) [/QUOTE]
