[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter has been on 36mg of Concerta for 5 years which has worked great!  About 4  months ago we switched to the generic Concerta and since then she has nothing but issues with her stomach.  I left her on the generic because time and time again I was told that there was no difference between the name brand and the generic.

She does not take the Concerta while on school breaks and over Christmas break had no stomach issues.  Today was her first day back, took her pill and came home complaining that her stomach hurts.  We have even had blood work done and a MRI to make sure there wasn't anything more serious wrong.  We are switching back to the brand name and will see what happens.

I didn't see any posts that reported severe stomach pains while on the generic which makes me a little skeptical but switching back will be worth a try!

If anyone else has experienced stomach issues while on the generic I would like to know about it.[/quote]

I have learned that IBS (Irritble Bowel Syndrome) is very common in girls with ADD.  As it turns out her stomach issues are related to that and not the gernic Concerta.  Her ADD doctor was very suprised that non of the other doctors caught that when going through test to detemrine what the issue was.  Something to keep in mind.[/quote]
