[QUOTE="Anna1345, post: 99698, member: 4292"] So I think we have gotten to a bit of the bottom of the problem. I was doing some research last night on some of the stimulant ADHD medications. Seems that concerta could probably be the culprit. Back in June of 2005 the FDA released a new Black warning label which needed to clarify the warnings already in place. This is what I found: and this: The current label suggests that Concerta may exacerbate an existing psychiatric condition. However, of the 36 reports of psychiatric side effects among Concerta users, only 6 reported a history of a psychiatric condition The ones I bolded are the ones we have been seeing which are also seen in ODD. SO Since Michael is not currently seeing a child psychologist (only a therapist) I had my mom call the one she works with -- mom is a licensed clinical therapist and this guy mom has worked with for years -- I completely trust him and his credentials. So this is what she emailed me after she spoke with him. So I called my pediatrician -- who I have been in regular contact with since this all occurred and it is great because she is an advocate for lowering doses and keeping the bare minimum necessary kind of crunchy like me -- and she is on board. So it looks like we will switch him. Hopefully this will really help! WHEW! Off I go to pick him up for his appointment.... [/QUOTE]
