[QUOTE="mattsmum, post: 58290, member: 3532"] My difficult child was on Straterra (extended release) and Concerta for two years. It definitely helped settle him down and he was able to focus. However we still had periods of the anger and aggression. He has recently been diagnosed with bipolar. The doctors told me that the depakote they were putting him on would help stablize his mood...and it seems to be working. He isn't having angry outbursts like he used to and getting pouty. The Concerta is also helping his ADHD symptoms of hyperactivity and loud voice volume. Unfortunately, when it comes to medications it is all trial and error. Why won't your insurance cover Straterra or Concerta? I didn't realize that insurance companies would do that. [/QUOTE]
