[QUOTE="DDD, post: 512531, member: 35"] I know this sounds silly but do you ever listen to commercials for birth control methods or almost any medication. The Gov't requires that they announce every side effect ever reported by anyone who used the product. To the best of my knowledge the reports are not clinically verified. If you listen to all the warnings you'd never take any medication, lol. Ritalin, Concerta and Vyvance have been used in our family since the 1960's with success. We had to change from one stimulant medication to another depending on the difficult child but it helped them all. The point of this paragraph is that I'm surprised he included "sudden death". Goodness gracious! It must have been reported by someone at some time (although I have never ever read of it) but I'm shocked a Psychiatrist would share that with you. Geez! Some kids with BiPolar (BP) do not react well to stimulants. We had one who did. Concerta and all the other adhd stimulant medications are quick in/quick out. You will be able to see the effect with-o waiting a long time. If, by chance, it triggers a problem you can stop the medication with-o waiting an extended time. Fingers crossed that it is helpful to your difficult child. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
