[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 156008, member: 3907"] Karen, I know it's hard to do, but try to remember that your difficult child is likely not behaving badly on purpose. He's frustrated and out of control, and likely can't do anything differently. The defiance, lying, stealing, etc. are all very hard to deal with. I've been there done that too. But if your son's medications are the wrong ones for him, then nothing else is going to make it better until you get the medications sorted out. ADHD medications such as Concerta DO regulate ADHD. So...if your son's behaviour has not improved on ADHD medications, then chances are he has another issue that has lookalike symptoms to ADHD. And 72 mg is a very high dose. Like Smallworld and MidwestMom, I urge you to get your son in for a neuropsychologist evaluation. Once you understand what's going wrong, then you can put the right sorts of interventions in place. Unless you have that, you will continue to have chaos, disorder and heartbreak. Trinity [/QUOTE]
