[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 221916, member: 2423"] How old are your kids? What kind of doctor diagnosed ME with ADD/ODD? If Concerta is working for your son, why wasn't it tried on your daughter (the same medications often work for members of the same family)? Whenever a child trials a new medication, there can be an adjustment period, and I frequently give it a week or two before calling it quits unless the reaction is violent or scary (for example, my son had a 3-hour rage that resulted in a broken window the very first day he took Prozac). You should be aware that any stimulant for AD(H)D can exacerbate pre-existing anxiety. So if by chance, your daughter is anxious, any stimulant could make her more emotional. [/QUOTE]
