[QUOTE="Janna, post: 59618, member: 2737"] I have two kids that have tried stimulants. My son, J, is 9 and ADHD, Combined Type (hyperactive, inattentive). He tried Ritalin, but it didn't last very long. It worked, just not all day. He tried Adderall, and that made him very aggressive, angry and physically abusive to my other children and kids in school. Then we tried Concerta, and have had awesome luck with that one. Then I have my son, Dylan, who is Bipolar, who tried stimulants, and they ALL made him very aggressive, more hyperactive, and stimulated him moreso than he already was. I would say, knowing how well the Ritalin and Concerta worked for my true ADHD child, that if you are not seeing positive effects right away, within a 72 hour time frame, you should call the psychiatrist immediately. They should work, and you should see improvements. With J, within 3 hours of giving him the Ritalin, we saw a much calmer, happier child. [/QUOTE]
