[QUOTE="branbran, post: 85025, member: 3762"] My daughter has been on and off Concerta for about 5 years. With regards to her ADHD it really does help, it slows her down, she is very calm, very quiet, however it really irritates her, she is very agitated when it is in her system. She loves this medication, I have been fighting with her for years to stop taking it and try another ADHD medication, but she is dead set on taking it. Until now, she was taken off of it a few days ago, hopefully we will be trying a new mood stabilizer soon. We'll see, if the dr ever calls me back. Anyway, she loves this medication because it really keeps her weight down. I tried one once I didn't eat anything the entire day, it really takes your appetite away. They should market this as a weight loss pill. lol She was also on Ritalin many years ago, that was actually her first medication ever, she then went to Adderal, neither worked to well for her. The main gripe I have with Concerta is that it puts my daughter in a bad mood, she gets very snippy and inpatient. Every medication affects each child differently. Good luck.
