[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 167005, member: 2423"] Concerta is a great medication for ADHD. However, if your difficult child is anxious and/or depressed (she did overdose), it may not be the right medication. It can exacerbate pre-exisiting anxiety and in time cause depression. Did you ask the psychiatrists why they are so convinced she has ADHD? Have they done any cognitive or psychological testing on her? Hyperactivity, impulsivity and/or inattention can be symptoms of lots of childhood disorders, not just ADHD. Keep us posted on how it goes today. [/QUOTE]
