[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting; my son started on 18mg Concerta 10 days ago, which they filled with the generic, and it doesn't seem to do a thing for him, positive or negative.  This is the first med we've tried with him and I was going to talk to his doc about adjusting the dosage or trying a different med.  Now I'm wondering if I should discuss trying the brand name version.  
I'd appreciate any thoughts you have on what our next steps should be.

18 mgs is a really low dose....that's probably why.  [/quote]

Thanks.  That is what I was thinking, although I've read that for the inattentive type, the low doses usually work best so I wasn't sure whether the next step was to try a different med at a low dose or bump the current one up a notch.  I guess it makes sense to do the latter.

I also want to say thanks to all of you for sharing your information and experiences here.  So helpful to a mom that is trying to make the best decision for her child.  Please please please lets not drag this forum down with bickering and name calling.  This is such a lifeline of support and if it becomes ugly people may be driven away and that would be a real shame.   I'm as guilty of the next of jumping into the fray on the Off Topic forum, but this is a nice little island of civility that is desperately needed.[/quote]
