[QUOTE="bran155, post: 183933"] I agree with busywend, I can't believe that they want to address the ADHD first!!! My daughter was treated for years with stims for ADHD to no avail. In fact they only made her worse. Finally, her first hospitalization, the doctor said that her BiPolar (BP) was primary and was a much bigger concern than the ADHD. Back then I was very new to this game so I just went along with what ever I was told, believing "the professionals" knew what they were talking about. Well half of them didn't. I would much rather my daughter be hyper and unable to sit still then go into a manic episode. I think sometimes we must choose which would be the lesser of the 2 evils. We still struggle with this issue as my daughter loves to be on Concerta as it keeps her nice and thin. In fact she just came off it again, she convinced her psychiatrist that she needed it, I disagreed but he asked me to give it a shot one more time and of course I won that argument, she is no longer on it. Just wanted to share my experience. Good luck. :) [/QUOTE]
