[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 313709, member: 1233"] Lots going on in your life. You say that difficult child spends a lot of time staring into space. Has he had a sleep deprived EEG? Years ago they used to require an EEG before starting any stimulant treatment. Staring off into space is often thought to be inattentive ADHD. Another mom here encouraged us to get EEGs done because often it is really another problem. Because of this, I had each of my older kids tested before we tried medications. Jess surprised us. She has Absence Epilepsy. Staring off into space means that her brain is "not there" and nothing you say or do will penetrate. It also explained the wacky clumsiness that came and went. If your brain cuts off when you are running, you don't stay running. As the concerta is not working I strongly suggest you get the sleep deprived EEG to be sure that you are not dealing with some kind of epilepsy. there are also other things that this could be. in my opinion further testing is needed.
