[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - can you give us examples of how his anxiety has heightened? DS has ADHD/Inattentive, started on Concerta 2 months ago. The only thing I've noticed is that he can be more verbally impulsive....saying stupid or inappropriate things that are totally random. Not tourettes-like, just goofy stuff. ex: he'll walk out of his bedroom and say, "...I picked my nose..." and then walk away leaving us scratching our heads. [/quote] OP here. Since being on Concerta my DS has developed an intense fear of insects--specifically spiders and bees. He literally looses it when a fly enters the house and can't function. He won't walk on grass unless he sees absolutely no flowers (fear of bees near the flowers). That is how we have seen his anxiety manifest itself since starting the Concerta. He was never really fearful of insects (didn't like them, but he never flipped out and froze when we saw one). [/quote]
