[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 128469, member: 2423"] Unfortunately, choosing which stimulant for ADHD works best for each individual is a trial and error process. My son, for example, did better on the methylphenidate-based medications (Focalin, Concerta) than he did on Adderall. But your difficult child could be exactly the opposite. You will only know if you try. Having said that, it sounds as if you may be dealing with something other than ADHD. Is there any way you could take him off Concerta and get a baseline read on behavior before jumping to the next medication? That way you could really see what symptoms need medicating. If the anger and violence remain, I'm guessing it goes beyond ADHD. If the anger and violence disappear but inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity are the core symptoms, then it might be ADHD. Has the BM, who you say is not too stable, been diagnosed with any disorders? [/QUOTE]
