Hi I am new to this forum, but recently I have been dealing with some issues that I need some help and support with and someone reccomended this site to me. My dss9 is adhd and on concerta, for two years his systems have been controled well and he has done fine in school, not all of a sudden this year his is out of control, fighting in school, threatening other people, drawing violent pictures, plus his grades are slipping. I upped his dosage of medicine on the 11th, but so far with little results. My question is, has anyone else dealt with this, what did you do and how long should I give the new dosage before I take him back to the doctor???? Also I am thinking that sleep depirvation may be playing into this behavior and could use some advice on how to help him get a decent amount of sleep, he is a wonderer and we had a door buzzer but I quit setting it because he would rather pee down his ac vent then set the buzzer off to go to the bathroom (and yes he knew he would not get in trouble if he really had to go)
