[QUOTE="mattsmum, post: 64860, member: 3532"] My difficult child was originally diagnosed with ADHD and was on Strattera and Concerta. After his additional diagnosis of Bipolar in June, the Strattera was dropped and Depakote was added. Although he DEFINITELY needs something for his ADHD, I asked today if we could try the Strattera instead of the Concerta because the Concerta is a stimulant and can aggravate Bipolar symptoms. So, we are going to try the Strattera. One definate plus to the Strattera is that it builds up in their systems and works around-the-clock...whereas Concerta wears off. The reason the Psychiatrists originally did not want him on the Strattera AND Depakote is that they can both impair liver function in some patients. The blood tests they do to monitor the Depakote checks for liver function. [/QUOTE]
