Have you tried anything except Ritalin? Have you thought about the Daytrana patch? Focalin XR is what worked for my son after years of the behaviors that you describe. it is so hard to know that your child has no friends or the ones that he does have are as hyper or "different" in their own way. My son always just longed to be normal like the rest of them. The patch might be something to try as the dosage is more even and you don't get the crashes like you do on the pills. I am trying it myself as an adult and find it much more even. It does take a lot of trial and error to get meds right. Hang in there, it does get better .
