[quote=Anonymous]DS is 17 now and has been on medication for over 5 years (Concerta). He was pretty much at max dose on Concerta and having issues with side effects - our pediatrician was managing RX from start with her developmental pediatrician colleague recommending Concerta. But as we explored next steps, ped was supportive of bringing in a psych consult. Ped was recommending Focalin. Psych agreed and set out a plan for trying Focalin and possible titration. Now that DS is on a good dose, pediatrician is managing bi-monthly check ins and refills. Psych is available for a follow up as needed and is a resource if DS needs to change medication later.[/quote]
