[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 119618, member: 2423"] Like any stimulant, Concerta can increase anxiety. Instead of adding Strattera for anxiety, you might want to either lower Concerta or try another stimulant. Strattera is an antidepressant that can cause extreme anger and aggression. That's what you might be seeing now. I went to a lecture by a well-known psychiatrist who treats many children with AS/Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), and he said he frequently uses a combo of Methylphenidate (which is the active ingredient in Concerta) and Risperdal to address their symptoms. If I can locate his name, I'll post it so you can find his research on the internet. Is the psychiatrist you're working with skilled in medicating kids with AS/Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)? That said, every kid reacts differently to medications and you frequently have to do a trial and error process to come up with the medication or combo that works best for your difficult child. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
