[quote=Anonymous]My DC was diagnosed with GAD 2 years ago but it became apparent it was more impulsive hyperactive ADHD. Now that they are diagnosed, we are seeing great results with Concerta and I am wondering if weaning slowly off the SRRI is possible and maybe doing Clonidine if needed. I am not against SSRI but I never felt like it really worked and I don’t like the side effects. Loss of hair, swelling, ruddiness, increased appetite, gi issues, etc… I never really saw anxiety now that I look back. They are happy and not depressed. Just very impulsive, fidgety, and had infrequent defiant attacks (that were initially labeled panic attacks) Is it wrong to consider weaning off the med or at least lowering the dose? Has anyone done this with positive outcome? [/quote]
