I know that Concerta works wonderfully for many children.
For mine, its was like giving him heroine! One dose, the smallest amount, and was literally psychotic for 27 hours, violent, screaming, no sleep....the psychiatric had told me I would know right away if it would work for him or not....believe me, I knew!!! I gave it to him in the morning, say at 8:00 a.m.....he finally fell asleep at 10:30 a.m. the NEXT DAY!
So unfortunately, as the others have said, it's a trial and error thing....what works great for one, may not for the next.
I'm sharing my experience just so in the chance your child has this reaction, you know what it is and that is does go away.
Good luck!
