[QUOTE="Janna, post: 66156, member: 2737"] Here's my situation with the Concerta with my kids: My 10 year old is Bipolar/ADHD/Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified (Autism). He tried Concerta, several times, alone, and just recently with a Bipolar medication combo (Lithium/Abilify) after a very long time of good behaviors (16 months). The Concerta made him easily agitated, increasingly hyperactive and very aggressive. That was an 18 mg. tablet for a 130 pound kid. Just didn't work. My 9 year old is ADHD, Combined Type. He started at 18 mg. with good results. He is 42 pounds. It helped him immensely with hyperactivity, focus and attention. He went from a very problematic child in class to getting "most improved behaviors" at the end of the school year. He also was sent home a couple of weeks ago with a letter from the camp counselors telling me how wonderful he is, a leader, not a follower, great kid, no behavior problems at all, etc. We DID try him on a 27 mg. tablet, and he got glassy eyed, zombified, and we didn't like it, so right back down he went.
