[QUOTE="lmd02814, post: 269951, member: 7196"] Thank you all for the insight. It's obvious that no one knows it like those who live it and live with-it. Marg, you seemed to have hit the nail on the head. I'm ADD myself and was given Concerta in January after being taken off Adderall (jaw clenching). I, along with-others noticed that I became very irritable later in the day -- hmmmm... Aha! I've cut my dose in half and am going back to difficult child's pediatrician Neurologist and seeing if there's an alternative to the amphetamines for awhile for him. Whenever there's trouble with-him, it's later in the day when he medication is gone, then look out. He's always been very sensitive to any medications. He began Lexapro two weeks ago. It seemed to have worked (improved that simmering rage) for the first week but not so well after that. It's 5 mg. She may up that dosage. I'd rather do Lexapro and get him off Focalin because I do believe many of his reactions are rebound based. I appreciate any further input. I'm buying "The Explosive Child" this week. Thanks [/QUOTE]
