I never trust any of the meds my kids show up on because they often see several doctors and it's also been my experience that if a me isn't working, instead of stopping it they just add more.

It's also common for kids to be put on meds that are not approved for kids and they're often given a higher dosage then is recommended for adults.

I'm not a doctor, but I would definately question the use of a mood stabalizer and an antidepressant together. If it were me, I'd want to know which one was tried first. If the child reacted angerly after being placed on Wellbutrin and a mood stabalizer was then added, I'd subtract both and try something else if it were truly needed. Concerta is a pretty good ADHD drug.
