[QUOTE="KCandtheboys, post: 604750, member: 16697"] Thank you for this advice! I will look into having him more thoroughly evaluated. His sleep has improved in the last week and my main concern is about the Ritalin wearing off so quickly. The LA 40 mg capsule he takes in the morning is lasting about 4-5 hours at most (sometimes more like 3). The regular Ritalin 20 mg he takes in the afternoon usually last about 2-3 hours which I guess is pretty normal. He used to not need so much medicine. He still can be aggressive/violent at unpredictable times. When the medicine wears off...watch out! He is WILD. It has always been somewhat this way, but it is much worse now. I'm wondering if I need to ask to try a different form of Ritalin or consider something different altogether. [/QUOTE]
