I agree with Mari about the Concerta (methylphenidate)

This can cause huge meltdown, withdrawal behaviors when the drug wears off, in the evening! Violence in some cases!

I would see if a medication change/adjustment could help in this situation. That seems very serious to me. My son was on Ritalin (methylphenidate) for 5 years and I know first hand how he "lost" it occasionally. We eventually controlled the ADHD with natural interventions.
