[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 157268, member: 1498"] You know, school isn't necessarily the measure of how a drug is working. Just because a child functions better at school when he takes a certain medicatiton doesn't mean it's the right drug. If the overall result is that his condition is worse -- there [I]is[/I] life other than school -- then the drug really isn't working, is it? The drugs are suppose to work for the [I]child[/I], not for the school. Ritalin and Concerta contain the same amphetamine-like chemical as the active ingredient but the delivery system is different. Being a quick in, quick out drug, the body actually goes through daily withdrawal (better known as "stimulant rebound"). It cause the body to feel agitation and is the reason those who use amphetamine/amphetamine-like drugs recreationally also use pot or alcohol to take the edge off when the stimulant wears off.
