[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 347750, member: 1550"] Ok, here's my .02. Has she seen a neuropsychologist for diagnosis? So many times our kids are misdiagnosed then put on medications that don't help them. Concerta most definitely would cause high anxiety. I was on Ritalin a few times and I have a terrible anxiety disorder plus depression and it exacerbated both so I think it was a good plan to remove it. Zoloft can make some people worse...it did for me. On the other hand Paroxotene, it's cousin, has a very calming affect on me. Of course, I'm an adult. However, these days it seems medications are given to kids of all ages (and in my opinion too often and too much). My son was misdiagnosed with bipolar and put on heavy duty BiPolar (BP) medications so please be careful you even have the right diagnosis. Not all kids are the same, but my particular child is much better on NO medications. On the other hand, *I* have to take them to maintain my moods. It is very hard to know what is really going on with a young child and everything a professional says is really just their best guess. How was your daughter's early development and how are her social skills? Does she have any quirky behavior or obsessive interests? Is she getting help other than just medication? [/QUOTE]
