Changing meds

[Casbug]

Just wanted to post about what we are going through at the moment.

So today is day 1 of concerta. My nephew, aged 10 who has severe ADHD, was taking focalin xr 30mg in the morning and 25 mg in the afternoon along with mirtazapine 15mg 2x daily. He was on focalin for a year and 1/2. He had lost so much weight and no matter the calorie intake kept it off and has not gained a pound. That mixed with the fact that the focalin was not working anymore is why we made the change. Today was definitely a day. He had no focus what's so ever. His meltdowns, on the other hand, are less intense and don't last as long. So there is a plus. Praying this helps with focus soon. 😊

Here's hoping that works for you. It'll be a couple of weeks before you know it's just going to be a good Med or not
