[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 355619, member: 805"] My son took Concerta for for about 18 months. It definitely lasts longer than adderall! I would suggest a couple things, if I may... Give it to her at the earlier possible moment upon waking. Make sure she has a really good breakfast. Don't' worry if her appetite doesn't come back until later at night. Have healthy snacks at hand. Make sure you have a good bedtime routine. Quiet, low-light time for her to unwind and relax. I know that's probably a little tough at her age, but it is an important component in getting a good nights sleep. Don't medicate her on the weekends. Give her that time to sleep in late in the mornings to catch up a little and eat on her more typical schedule. In my experience, some of the side effects get better as the body adjusts, but others remain as long as they are taking the stimulant. Sharon [/QUOTE]
