[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 558157, member: 1550"] My son was aggressive and mean on all stimulants. I am thinking that maybe the dose is too high so that your son is crabby in the morning and better in the afternoon when it wears down a little. I'm not a fan of ODD (the diagnosis...many of us are not) and I also know that doctors don't like to blame the medications or reduce them even when it warrants trying that out. I have no idea why they don't, but I've been on medications most of my life and they tended to ADD medications when I would complain about a symptom, not consider that perhaps the medication itself was the problem. I think it's a good idea to try him off the medications on the weekend to see for yourself. Often I had to swtich doctors because a doctor would not believe a medication was actually harming me. The doctor would usually blame something else and up the dose but I knew better. I was almost always right. In your case, use your mom gut. Doctors aren't Gods. They are often wrong. We know our kids. Intuiv, I believe, is long acting Concerta. (I can't spell it though). [/QUOTE]
