[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 139276, member: 805"] Hi Carly and welcome to the site! My son was on concerta for a couple years and the side effects we saw were decreased appetite, sleeplessness, bad breath (assumably caused by the lack of eating), and some increased aggitation. However, the positive changes in his focus, hyper level, and impulsivity far outweighed the negative side effects. Every child is different in regards to "growing out of" their adhd. It also depends on the severity of their case. There are different "levels" of adhd. Normally, once you have adhd you always have adhd. Having said that though, many kids do mature out a little of the hyperacticity once they begin or go through puberty. Some kids, especially those with milder cases, are able to self modulate their symtoms without medications when they are post high school. It's difficult to give you cut and dry answers because everyone, and every child, is unique. Glad you're here. Sharon [/QUOTE]
