[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 485073, member: 2322"] you might want to think about the side effects of the medication. When we put our 6 year on Concerta, it raised his anxiety level, he perseverated about things and basically became a tearful mess. It was a dramatic difference. Now at 14 he is on it, but when he was younger he couldn't tolerate it. We tried a low dose of Abilify for a few years with some success. Our other son did get a bit more aggressive on Adderall, but it had such a dramatic positive effect we thought it was worth it. A low dose of Risperdal in the evening really helped even out things, helped him sleep better. The right medications can make a big difference to some kids. [/QUOTE]
