[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 512493, member: 11791"] Lots of experience with Concerta - but not with bi-polar in the diagnosis mix. The big advantage of the ritalin group (includes Concerta and others) is that they ARE fast-acting. That means that whatever dose you take today, will affect TODAY. You will see whether it has impact or not. If there's a rapid bad reaction, you'll see that too. If the dose is too low, you might not see much effect... I wouldn't be upping the dose unless there are NO side-effects other than the (famous? infamous?) rebound-effect that happens when it wears off... in my opinion everybody on this class of drugs gets at least SOME form of rebound-effect. For some kids Concerta works better... for others, the more traditional forms like Ritalin are better... no way to tell without trial and error. [/QUOTE]
