[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 236527, member: 2423"] Hi Janna! I'm sorry I haven't officially welcomed you back yet. Glad you made your way back here. Actually, our neuro believes that if a parent responds positively to a certain medication, the child has a good chance of responding similarly. It makes some sense given that a parent and a child share 50 percent of their genes. But it's certainly no guarantee. In addition to Vyvanse (which is a pill -- Daytrana is a patch), other medications you could consider to treat ADHD symptoms include: Provigil: a narcolepsy medication that is used off-label to treat ADHD Wellbutrin: a stimulatory AD that is also used off-label to treat ADHD Notriptyline: a tricyclic AD that can be helpful for ADHD sx Focalin/Focalin XR: refined Ritalin that supposedly has fewer side effects than regular Ritalin If 36 mg Concerta did nothing, you could try 54 mg Concerta. I personally would never go higher than 72 mg Concerta, but I'm risk averse. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
