[QUOTE="Andy, post: 397823, member: 5096"] These are very valid concerns. I would write down everything so you don't forget and go over each concern with the doctor to see what s/he says. Since you really like the Concerta, try to rule out other reasons of stomache aches. Can you get into the medical doctor before the medication check to cover the stomach issue (or is the medical doctor the same one you will have medication check with?). Is it a sign of the anxiety and not the side effect of the medication? My Diva had stomach aches which we could not figure out in various tests - I really think some kids get stomach aches and some get head aches when stressed. However, if it really is the medication that is causing the stomachaches, I would advise switching. As our kid's bodies grow and change, the helpfulness of their medications can also change. You also do not have to change medications on Thursday if that is the recommendation. You can ask to be given a week or two to check out other reasons for the stomach aches. Then log the times he is complaining and try to determine if there is a anxiety issue around that time. [/QUOTE]
