Guanfacine
My son began with
concerta
and it worked really bad. After that, the doctor recommended me to change to guanfacine. Anyone with the same experience? I hope this time works...

New here and welcoming help. :)
👋🏽 My 10-year-old son was diagnosed with AHDH about a year ago and started on
Concerta
about 4 months ago. The only thing I can say it has done is make my son not want to eat throughout the day.

I'm new here and confused inexperienced and worried
It worked for an hour but would wear off, and after telling my GP he gave me a generic of
concerta
, and
concerta
generics have a history of not working after doing my research, and this one felt like I was taking nothing overall.

Prescription change
My 12 year daughter is currently taking
concerta
wondering if switching to adderal would make a big difference. I have done some research and they seem about the same. My daughter has more of the focus issue then hyperactivity. Has anyone else gone this route. Adderal is also a lot cheaper also.

Concerta and wide awake at night
Have you experienced this with your child when taking a
Concerta
? My 6 yr old has always went to bed at 7:30 and slept till 5:45-6am. Since he started
Concerta
this last weekend he can’t fall asleep and when he does he wakes up at 4am or sometimes earlier. Have you tried melatonin??

Medicine
This morning we started
Concerta
for my 5 and 1/2 year old adhd and very impulsive boy. Doctor says we should see results today or tomorrow. Any experience with a younger child on
Concerta
? I am full of emotions today... scared, guilty and optimistic.

Mornings are a nightmare and I don't know what to do.
He takes 36 mg ER Methalphenidate (
Concerta
) and I can't give it to him before breakfast or he won't eat anything. Any advice is appreciated.

Oh the guilt....
It’s so hard to know if this is because of the
Concerta
or just because he is stubborn and defiant.

Fairly New Here
He is currently taking
concerta
in the morning and 2 doses of ritalin throughout the day. My son is mostly on the hyperactive spectrum of this diagnosis. He is impulsive and defiant. He is aggressive and violent toward me. However, he can also be kind and loving.

It has to get easier
Today was tough my 7 year old who currently takes
concerta
. It is like he just don't get it. His defiance is out od control the school thinks he is incompetent. When I know my son is bright and taking things from him no longer works. Out of options.

Similar Expeeience
When the prescriber would only decrease the dose to 20 mg, I consulted another practitioner and received a prescription for
Concerta
. You have to advocate for the children because no one else will!!!

Hello, new here
He's been on
Concerta
since then and it, along with educating ourselves, has been a blessing. He's still got some challenging behaviors, which at times feel unfair to his younger sisters and which occasionally get him into trouble at school.

Minimal side effects?
I have a friend whose 2 kids went on
Concerta
around the same age, and she said the only side effect they experienced was loss of appetite in the middle of the day. But she said it was like someone flipped a switch inside them and they were suddenly able to concentrate and excel in school.

Son’s 1st day on Quillivant
Brings me to October, when he was diagnosed with ADHD and prescribed
Concerta
XL. He never could swallow it and why this past week he was prescribed Quillivant XR 20 mg. He chose chewable over liquid.
