Concerta-Adderral-10 year old???

My 10 year son has been on Adderall for a little over 2 months now.  He was moody, distant, and very emotional.  The doctor is now switching him to Concerta. Any thought son this medication?  I am new at trying to deal with ADHA, my son is diagnosed with the concentration protion of ADHA. He can not focus for the life of him!  It is so confusing to try and help him when I know

Just to be clear- I do not take any kind of advise from anyone besides the doctor.  I do welcome people to answer my questions and give me their stories.  But as far as actually taking advise, who are you kidding.  If you would have read my question, the docotr had already been switching my son to Concerta before the post even happened.  And you know what I don't understand, why on earth you are even looking at these ADHD posts when you or your children do not have it.  Please stop harassing all my postings.

just so your aware,, and Im not sure if this is a 'trolling' issue or not,, but consider your sources carefully please...  here is a post on anouther board created by Wonder26 on anouther of the boards here... take a moment to check it out because it doesnt even flow with the rest of the conversation and there does appear to be some people trolling on these boards giving people bad advice.. incidently your taking the advice of two boys under the age of 20 who have been on these medications. Im sure its fairly normal behavior for their ages, but something to consider if you care to brows through each of their history of posts from their profile.
