Thank you for your question and welcome to ADHDCentral.com.
I am not a medical professional and would not be able to tell you if there were any other problems with your son. However, when treatment does not seem to be working, it is often helpful to start again and have a complete evaluation done to make sure you are working with the correct diagnosis
