How long should I try a new medication?
I just started
Concerta
two weeks ago. 1st week 18mg absolutely no response, 2nd Week 27mg and only experiencing headache and tiredness about 6 hours after taking it. My question is, how long do you trial this medication before calling it quits and trying something else?

Saw a tele-psychiatrist for 10 mins and got prescribed Strattera.. Am I diagnosed?
It's not the kind of drug I wanted, I want the tried-and-true ADHD medication like
Concerta
or Adderall, not this delayed onset wannabe anti-depressant with crazy side-effects with potential for permanent changes to brain proteins.

Evening struggles
Since then i started taking
Concerta
and now stable on a 36mg dose. It really helps me during the day, but in the evening when the meds are out of my system I really feel restles. Racing thoughts and i can't decide what to do.

How will Concerta affect my son?
His doctor prescribed
Concerta
and I was wondering if anyone who has experience with this medication can give me some advice. I am very nervous about putting him on meds because of the side effects. Anything shared (good or bad) is appreciated.

Tics on Concerta?
My 8 year old son has been on
Concerta
for about a year. He developed a tic for the first time about 6 months ago. It stayed for about two weeks, while gradually changing, then went away. He’s developed another tic about two weeks ago and it also has gradually changed over the two week period.

Medication/ Brilla
He’s been on
Concerta
for about 5 years. We’ve lowered the dose raised the dose, tried a afternoon dose, basically everything. I don’t think they are working for him. Yes he is calmer, but he still gets moody, and his school work is not improving. I still think focus is a huge issue.

She did not tolerate stimulants- biphentin, vyvanse,
concerta
at the lowest doses. Made her extremely irritable, mood swings.

On to drug #2
Now we are starting at 18mg of
concerta
and are seeing more energy/in-attentiveness and he’s more “himself” again. Although that is great he’s still unable to function at school.

ADHD and Puberty
My son is 12 1/2 and has been on
Concerta
(generic) for 6 years. It was the first medicine he tried and we were so fortunate that it was the right one. We’ve tweaked the dose over the years but it was working fine until just recently.
