[QUOTE="jal, post: 240739, member: 3477"] Janna, You are not a loser. I know how hard it can be. My difficult child is Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-Aspergers (high functioning) also been diagnosis'd with-mood dis-not otherwise specified and combined ADHD. My son has been very hard to medicate also. He was orig diagnosis'd as bipolar/ADHD and we trailed medications upon medications. Stims set him off (we've gone through 15 of them). difficult child currently is on Seroquel 200mg spread throughout the day. When psychiatrist tried to increase to 300mg difficult child became nasty and disrespectful. I weaned him back down to 200mg and he is so much better. We started 10mg of Prozac a few weeks ago and within one week or so we had a different kid. I don't really have the answer since I am not a dr, but maybe the Concerta is wearing off around 3 or 4 as you mentioned and the dr was trying for a short acting stimulant to get difficult child through the rest of the day? Also, I do not know how much Seroquel your child is on, just my experience going to a higher dose caused problems. Good luck to you. [/QUOTE]
