[QUOTE="ME & THE BOYS, post: 55215, member: 3838"] Hello there, medications can work for one, yet not another. They are no different from one type aspirin working for one individual.....i.e. Tylenol, yet Advil perhaps not working for that same individual. My son initially took Ritalin for his ADHD (to help with his impulsivity,,,). It did not work, infact......he went to school and painted is teachers computer screen. But, he was not angry when he did it. Just went about it as if it was not odd. He had never done anythign like this before. He then went on Strattara. This drug had no positive/negative effect. When his Psychiatrist then suggested Concerta, I thought is she nuts? Why? Ritalin and Concerta are more or less the same, as are Tylenol/Advil. She explained that she didn't know why, but she had seen one drug work well and the other did nothing. I was apprehensive seeing how he had painted his teachers screen. She said to try it on non school days at home, this way, if he was gonna react to it in a non positive way, I would see it at home. Well, he tried it. Nothing. Eventually, he went up another dosage level. Still nothing. We tried one last dosage level and within a half an hour, MAGIC HAPPENED. Yes........it worked and worked well. This has been a very good drug for my son. He takes one pill a day of concerta, 36 mg. He works for roughtly 10 or so hours I find. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
