Experiences with

QuilliChew ER

Metadate, Daytrana, Methylin, Quillivant, Quillichew ER, Ritalin - OMG Janice Rodden! are you OK? do you have a compulsion to assure people that most people don't get side effects from ritalin while minimizing the fact that you're talking about ritalin? My understanding is ~20% experience tics.

My son has been on Quillichew ER 20 mg (lowest dose) for almost two weeks. We have seen improvements at home as well as the school definitely is seeing improvements. One issue is that the medication is wearing off after around 5 hrs. I will be calling the doc to relay this info tomorrow.

She is also thinking of putting him on Quillichew ER to start. Does anyone have experience with this medication?

His doctor has prescribed Quillichew ER and I am extremely concerned about the list of possible side effects (psychosis, allergic reactions, heart problems). My husband is completely against medication and thinks he's just "going through a phase".
