[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 398035, member: 3444"] I think you can start by getting him back in to see a qualified child/adolescent psychiatrist to take a long hard look at his medication. If it was simply ADHD, then the Concerta would be addressing both the hyperactivity AND the impulse control. Since it's NOT, that suggests there is another issue at play and it's not being addressed. The sooner you get him in for a re-evaluation, the better! FWIW, we had a lot of oppositional and provocative behavior from my difficult child 1 until recently. Part of that was exacerbated by having him on the wrong medications that made symptoms worse. We know now that he's got some type of mood disorder at work (bipolar runs in the family, but he doesn't have all the symptoms), besides his ADHD, because he's responding better to the different medications we have him on now.
