Reaction to appetite stimulant?
Besides his regular meds (Generic
concerta
), I gave him his appetite stimulant (Cyproheptadine 4mg) this afternoon. (I don't give it to him every day). He had a similar tantrum a few days ago, and I seem to remember I gave it to him that day as well.

Can Anxiety and ADD medicine be taken together?
I currently am on
Concerta
for my ADD. Recently though I have been having a few panic "attacks", nothing over the top, but the anxiety is there. It was suggested that I take Zoloft (spelling?) to help with that. Has anyone had experience with taking both medications daily?

How long do you wait to call the doctor to say the medication is not working?
We started off on
Concerta
and we had seen improvements. Then we tried a higher dosage after it seemed like it wasn't working as well anymore and the teacher's feedback agreed with my observations. The higher dosage worked great for a few months and then everything changed.

Has anyone had any benefit from Aripiprazole for combined type ADHD?
I'm currently taking
Concerta
36mg XR but feel like it's not really working that well anymore. I've been told that Aripiprazole is sometimes used off-label for ADHD and wondering whether to discuss with my doctor to switch to this?

Anger and ADHD
He is taking a low dose of
concerta
. Would a higher dose enable him to handle stress more efficiently?? I’m so exhausted at times!!

13-year old son w/ADHD and executive function deficiencies
He was diagnosed with ADHD and started medication - six different kinds (with various side effects) before we settled on
Concerta
18 mg. His 5th/6th grade teachers were accommodating (one teacher/one class all day).

So excited!
My 15 year old son has been on
Concerta
18 mg for almost 3 weeks. Before the medication I would check the web pages for homework. The teachers post the work they are doing in class and I would check his book to see if he is done or even started. He was never done.

Ritalin or Concerta advise please...?
In this case, would anyone recommend
Concerta
(slow release) as this may not be as intense as ritalin? Thanks in advance!

New to ADHD
My son has been on
Concerta
for 2 weeks. A very low dose - 18mg to start. I have noticed some changes in his behavior but most of the time he is the same. I have been trying to research medication and dosage amounts. I am thinking his dose maybe to low to see complete changes.

Should I increase or decrease my dose of Concerta(Ritalin with slow release) ?
Hi, I am on
Concerta
40 MG per day. It has helped a lot in my social interactions. I feel more attentive and able to think through the situation before acting, but I still find it very difficult to concertrate while studying or doing mentally intensive work.

23 year old inability to launch
He was diagnosed with ADD in the first grade and he took
concerta
for a short period of time. We stopped the meds because he wasn’t sleeping well. He went back on meds (adderall) in high school and took it on days that he had classes. He also was diagnosed with a learning difference in math.

CBD Oil (Cannabidiol)
I hate giving him
concerta
because it kills his appetite and makes him less social which is already an issue. He has high functioning autism and struggles with peers. Are there any parents who replaced the ADHD medication with Cannabidiol oil and have had amazing results?

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.
