[QUOTE="neednewtechnique, post: 85031, member: 3527"] Yes, our difficult child's psychiatrist told me that Concerta is not a good choice for children with mood disorders (bipolar) because it CAN cause the irritability problems. Some children wtih mood disorders can even become violent on Concerta. Branbran raises a very good point that before you try a stimulant, especially concerta,in addition to speaking with the cardiologist, it would be a good idea for psychiatrist to rule out any possibility of a mood disorder, otherwise, you may be in for a total NIGHTMARE. This was the problem with our difficult child. Only, instead of co-existing adhd and bipolar, she just didn't have adhd, which I am sure made this side-effect worse, but I have heard horror stories about mood disordered kids taking Concerta....scary.
