CarolLisa,
What type of dex is your son on --- elixir or tablet? Does he take it in the morning, or at night? Is he a SW? How big is he (height and weight) and what is his current dose? My son is 8, has been on dex since diagnosis a little less than 2 years ago, and generally done very well. I ask all these questions because all these things could affect how he is responding to the medication. I would love to hear more about your situation, and may have just the doctor to recommend.
