[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 355170, member: 8831"] ((HUGS))) i know how hard this is for you. i dont have a [I]non[/I]-moody kid but just wanted to tell you my moody one started at 18mg too---we knew SO fast concerta was a problem for her that i was hesitant to give it on day 2, but did, thinking it was just because it was "new", and by after school day 2 i knew, for her, it was the devil drug from h%ll. mine didnt have some [I]subtle[/I] change in mood-she had [I]dramatic[/I] symptoms. obviously, it could have been VERY specific to my difficult child. i'm only telling you this because if you will see side effects, you should see them asap...and at least its a fast in/fast out. if i had to do it over again i think i would have started it on a weekend so i could have her in front of me the whole day to really observe the whole thing for myself. no so much to gauge for improved focus, but to watch for side effects. and, if it were me, i'd fight to the end for Learning Disability (LD) supports for a KID who is telling you she benefits from them--and i wouldnt make apologies for myself for doing so...did her Learning Disability (LD)'s magically get cured according to the SD?
