[QUOTE="Emerald, post: 54986, member: 679"] Hi There Everyone: IT has been ages since I posted on this site. Visit often but haven't posted. my 9 yr old difficult child has been on Concerta prescribed through our family Dr. for the past year and a half. He takes 27 mg each day. It seems that he isn't hyperactive anymore, doesn't get up and run around the room, or sharpen his pencil 5 times, chew the rubbers off, talk out in class so this is wonderful. However, he does still have impulse issues and attention issues. I am wondering if anyone has any feed back as to which medication they found seemed to address the impulse factor and the attention issue. Obviously Concerta isn't the right choice for our difficult child or maybe the dosage isn't high enough. We are going to have him evaluated again and see if something else is suggested. I just hate the feeling the our son is like a guinea pig. He doesn't have emotional issues so far. No aggresiveness or depressive behaviour. I am scared that we will rock the boat if we try something new. Has anyone else felt this way? Should we just accept that this is about as good as it will get and let it be. He is doind okay in school but has to have alot of help and reminders to stay on task. He doesn't have friends becuase he doesn't listen to game instructions or acts impulsively etc. Any suggestions as to what others fund the medications did or didn't do would be helpful. Thanks again guys. Emerald [/QUOTE]
