[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 200114, member: 1550"] My son got mean and aggressive on stimulants, and that isn't like him. I took him off of them because the doctors kept wanting to try new ones and they all did the same thing. We relied on interventions to help him focus. In the end, we found out his main issue wasn't ADHD anyway (ADHD is usually the first, but often not the last diagnosis a child gets). My son does really well with interventions (he doesn't even need many anymore). medications just made him worse. Not all kids react this way, but he did. Getting aggressive and mean on stimulants can also be a red flag that it's not just ADHD, but possibly a mood disorder or Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). You may want to have a more thorough evaluation. [/QUOTE]
