[quote=Anonymous]4 yr old son on 18mg of Concerta, lowest dose available. Dosage seems too high. He often spaces off but has no mood swings. You almost forget he's around, he's so quiet but this is not his personality. Trying generic Concerta, 5 mg 2x/day. He does not space off anymore, but his irritable, irrational behavior is back. Not as bad as without any medication but not good. The generic seems to only last about 4hrs while the 18mg Concerta lasted from 7am to 9pm/10pm. (I know the dosing is different but even at 2x's a day it doesn't last from dose to dose.) We love the Concerta, just wish it came in a smaller dose. And there is definitely a difference between the brand name & the generic. The generic reacts closer to Focalin for my son. Same type of symptoms - good for a hour or two but still has meltdowns & cannot comprehend what you are telling him when upset. He just keeps repeating his thoughts. The intensity of the mood swings were worse on Focalin though. [/quote]
