[QUOTE="garrison, post: 604215, member: 14316"] At the end of the school year Mr. I had been on an increased dose of Concerta. (36mg. up from 27) At the higher dose he had stomach aches, had stopped eating, (and I think growing too) and had periods of spacing out like he was over medicated. I convinced his parents to let me get a lower dose for summer. He does OK on the lower dose but it won't be enough for school. Here we are 3 weeks before school starts and it's time to address medications again. Here's the options [LIST] [*]increase concerta again and deal with side effects. (I don't want to do this) [*]Change to a different stimulant. [*]Add an add on drug. (like intunive) [/LIST] We have used intunive alone and it was ok but not enough. (as ok as it can be watching your child deal with new drugs. :( ) Stratarra was Satan in pill form. Vyvanse shot his heart rate threw the roof. (150 BPM or higher!) What works for you? Any suggestions of something I'm not seeing? [/QUOTE]
