[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 337774, member: 805"] I'm glad you have finally joined us! I agree with you, 54 mg of concerta is a lot for a 50 pound kid. One thing I learned with stims and my son, sometime they need a change. Mine was on concerta for about a year and a half, upped the dosage equalled anger, raging and depression. Changed to adderall and added a very low dose of remeron (antidep), worked like a charm. That combo he took for about three years - removed the remeron, just adderall for another year and half and now he's taking vyvanse (last 15 months or so) and that has been a charm for him! You are so right in exploring other diagnosis's for your son. These kids are reallly complicated, to say the least. Hope the addition of the abilify this weekend helps your son (and the rest of the family). Sharon P.S. Click on the User CP link on the top left of your page and do a profile for us. It helps us remember who is who and also gives us a little history on family and your difficult child. It's really helpful when responded to a post! [/QUOTE]
