[QUOTE="Christy, post: 144025, member: 225"] Your difficult child's behavior problemns seem to go beyond ADHD and it is possible that the Concerta is causing aggressive behavior in your child. You may want to discuss this with the psychiatrist. My son is very adhd but also bi-polar and cannot tolerate stimulate medications at all. In fact, we recently tried to start him on Strattera which is not a typical stimulent and now think that it has contibuted to very violent mood swings that landed him is a psychiatric hospital. I understand your fear about abilify. Being diabetic, you have access to a glucose monitor and can check your difficult child's blood glucose from time to time. I did this with my son (as I am also diabetic but he's adopted so no bio-predispositon). He was on Abilify at one time and his levels were never elevated but it is a concern. Also, while it is sad that your son is feeling this way, it was very appropriate for him to ask to leave the meeting rather than have an outburst. Best wishes to your you, your difficult child and your family. Christy [/QUOTE]
