[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 145132, member: 3907"] Like so many things, the reaction varies from child to child. My difficult child was on concerta for a long time, and he had terrible problems with impulse control. It's hard to say, though, whether the concerta increased his impulsiveness, or whether it just didn't provide him with any focus or control to help combat it. What the concerta did do was to increase difficult child's aggression and mania. He was originally identified as ADHD, so stims seemed to make sense and they did help him to focus. However, it turns out that the ADHD behaviour seems more likely to be the manic end of bipolar, so they were the wrong medications for him. Sorry, I don't know if my response is any help at all. Just some random thoughts. Trinity [/QUOTE]
