[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 99828, member: 1991"] I did some digging, I can find no reference to research connecting increase in ODD to taking Concerta. While as parents we consider our own child's situation, the whole picture from our point of view, we listen to the doctor and we then make out decision - for our child - we must recognise that for each of us our experiences are different, for widely varying reasons. So I recommend - consider the complete picture for your child. Do not listen to rumours; instead, check them out. Make INFORMED decisions. And ultimately - if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it. Conversely - if it works brilliantly, don't interfere. In an environment of people being critical of especially small children being put on stims - we began dosing our 3 year old on high doses of stims. To some people this made us bad parents. To our child - I think it was the best thing we could have done. It worked better than we could have dreamed. But that doesn't mean I think stims are ideal for all three year olds, or even all three year olds with ADHD or autism. We made an educated, informed decision and it paid off - for us. It's all any of us can do. Marg [/QUOTE]
