DS, age 6, started Concerta about 3 weeks ago. He is doing amazingly well on it - so much more responsive, conversational, rational, and focused. He is eating well and his anxiety actually seems to have decreased.
He cannot fall asleep on it. We are doing good sleep hygiene. and can talk to his doctor about perhaps trying a different medication (though I know a lot of this is trial and error). We have been doing a tiny dose of melatonin in the meantime - is this pretty much par for the course? |

| I'd stick with the Concerta and go up on the melatonin. Ask your doctor how much you can take. Out doctor said it is very safe and there is no real maximum dose, so we worked up to 12 mg, which was very effective. |
