[QUOTE="Steely, post: 100720, member: 3301"] Concerta is a stimulant medication. I am sure your doctors told you all the things that it could be helpful for - but also be aware some kids cannot take the medication due to the increase in moodiness it causes in them. The re-bound effect in the stims can cause some pretty strong feelings of anxiety and anger in some children, so you just need to call the psychiatrist if you notice any behavior changes. It can also cause insomnia, weight loss, and loss of appetite. Good luck!!! [/QUOTE]
