[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 232448, member: 3444"] Nine hours is probably about the most you'll get out of Concerta. It's been a while since we used it, but I think 8 to 10 hours is typical for it to last. It does sound like it's working pretty well. The crying could be from the medication wearing off -- sometimes some people can become irritable as it wears off. I think the best thing you can do is document his behavior for a few days and then follow up with a call to his psychiatrist to let him know what you are seeing. He can help address the emotional issues that you are seeing as well. [/QUOTE]
