[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 123661, member: 3444"] Both my difficult child's use the Daytrana patch (methylphenidate -- same as Concerta) with very good response. We actually started it for difficult child 1 because he has scar tissue in his small intestine and the Concerta capsule is contraindicated for people like him because it does not dissolve completely and he would risk an obstruction. He did so well on the patch that we switched difficult child 2 because at the time we needed a delivery method that could be tweaked easier than the pills since he was starting to react strangely to the stims (turns out it was a mood disorder developing). Although the packaging says to NOT cut the patch, we do it routinely to adjust how much medications difficult child gets, especially on the weekends. I've had absolutely no problems with doing this.
