[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 388327, member: 3930"] Oh wow - our difficult child's are VERY similar. I think we are going to be in the same boat as you. I eventually want to get him off Concerta and just the Intuniv but after seeing him this morning without his medication at the psychiatrist appointment - he was WAY hyperactive. After school he was still very hyper even though I gave him the lower dose of Concerta and the Intuniv. I too think his rages are worsened because of coming off the stimulant. I know when we first looked into Intuniv our insurance classified it as a Tier 3 or something like that so it would have cost us like $100 per month. Now they reclassified it and it is just a regular $35 co-pay. I hope your insurance will cover it. Have you ever tried any other types of medications? Have you had any side effects with the Intuniv? When we tried it before, he was waking up around 2 am and having bad dreams too. That was just on 1 mg. He did go to sleep much much easier though. [/QUOTE]
