[QUOTE="Janna, post: 24334, member: 2737"] Hi there, I was wondering the same thing as MidwestMom. I can tell you from experience, if your son has a mood disorder, even if it's Mood Disorder, not otherwise specified and not Bipolar, any stimulant is going to probably make him worse. My son, Dylan, has trialed them all. Every single one sent him spiraling. If you didn't have luck with the Concerta, now the Adderall, I would suggest taking a 2nd look at the medications. Can I say that if your son is unstable on medicine, his "flipping out" is probably not his fault. Dylan had many consecutive days of 3 hour rages. I'm talking 3 hours PER RAGE and many PER DAY. I never, ever thought I'd make it through until he got that Bipolar diagnosis and the right medications. Try to hang in there. I understand the insurance issue. Can you contact your local welfare office and see if you can get some type of low cost insurance? I work full time, and my kids didn't have insurance, and they offered me something else, where I only pay a minimal fee and they are covered. It's nice. I know how much it sucks. Screaming, raging kid. Maybe you need a 2nd opinion. I dunno. I'm sorry. Janna [/QUOTE]
