[quote=Anonymous]Ds 13 is on it and has been since age 6. At age 5-6 we tried all the meds and found they all had exactly the same side effects but concerta had the most school day coverage for ds. He’s on 36 mg. Used to be on it for hyperactivity and now it’s a combo of the two, but the hyperactivity is greatly diminished and tbh ds is at a super rigorous school so I’d be nervous to go off for focus at this point. He’s almost to the point where he doesn’t need the meds for hyperactivity but not quite. We sent him to sleepaway camp on just 18 mg and got fine but not amazing feedback at the end of summer (compared to last year where on 36 he got glowing reviews). But 18 still does something for him. He’s 6 feet tall fwiw. Definitely moderately but not entirely zaps his appetite and makes his personality dull. But the “full” personality is what gets complaints from camp…..[/quote]
