[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 70491, member: 2423"] Welcome! What kind of doctor diagnosed your daughter? What kind of doctor is prescribing her medications? Does she have any co-existing conditions such as anxiety or depression? How much Concerta is she currently taking? My son has trialed just about every stimulant for ADHD out there. He currently takes Focalin XR to help with focus on school days only. For my son, it has a smoother takeoff and landing than Concerta did. Focalin and Concerta are both methylphenidate, but Focalin is refined methylphenidate (meaning fewer side effects). Focalin XR, however, lasts for about 8 hours whereas Concerta lasts about 10 to 12 hours. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
