[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 104063, member: 1550"] As one who has anxiety and a mood disorder, just the thought of Concerta with STraterra makes me want to jump out of my skin. Why on earth is he on a stimulant and an antidepressant? How is that supposed to help him? Do you trust the diagnosis? ODD is kind of meaningless. A child with Aspergers is going to be defiant if he is taken away from his obsessions, has to transition, is overloaded with sensory stuff/forced into crowds, or his routine is disturbed. Is he getting interventions for the Aspergers? Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids need interventions far more than medication. If he's doing well in school, why did psychiatrist even put him on a stimulant? I really hate how they hand out stimulants. They are speed. (I'm one who is VERY shy about giving opinions [img]:wink:[/img] ) [/QUOTE]
