[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 265762, member: 7170"] Not sure how to answer your question so I will just mention that neither of my girls had success with Concerta or Clonidine. I'm looking at your signature and wondering who diagnosis'd mood disorder? Because if bipolar is the specific mood disorder your child has there is a good chance the Concerta is "fueling the fire" and making it much worse then it ever has to be. Angel was taking Concerta when she was admitted to a psychiatric hospital when she was 6yo and I believe the Concerta was a big contributor to the mania that caused that first admission. I'm so glad you are getting the full testing done; yes it's expensive and time consuming but there are answers you can get from the neurology part of it that you can't get anywhere else. I don't think its pure coincidence that many first line mood stabilizers are also anti seizure medications. Anyway until someone can make a crystal ball that gives reliable answers we parents have to make do with the answers we get from EEG's & MRI's and filling out lots of questionares. I hope something here helps you know where to look for some of your answers. [/QUOTE]
