[QUOTE="DDD, post: 113625, member: 35"] Hey again. Has he been under the care of a Psychiatrist who specializes in adolescents? I really strongly believe that a Psychologist is not the one to decide what medications he should take or not take. He obviously is disordered. Disordered people either take medications to help them become orderly or they end up on the wrong side of life. Adolescents who are disordered need a parent to force the issue. Just taking Concerta ( which has been a marvelous help to three of mine...ranging from 36mg, 64mg and now difficult child takes 72mg) will not solve the other issues. ADHD is not a disorder that includes violence in most cases. He must need additional medicine to supplement the Concerta. It is well worth the price to find the BEST expert Psychiatrist and do whatever is necessary to get difficult child to go AND to take the medications. He is about old enough to get a few basic rules. Number one rule is NO violence will be tolerated or the police will be called... that is not negotiable. Number two rule is taking medication is required if you want to live in MY home. Those two rules will help alot. If he can't follow them...then, he should not be in your home. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
