Hi, not the right section but posting for traffic.
AuADHD 9 year old about to begin this medication after some issues with others. How has your child found it?

Not child but I take it and I feel it is fantastic for focus etc. Took a while to tritrate to the correct dosage and there was a certain amount of dizziness and feel a bit off but within a few months all was plain sailing - when I remember to take it that is.

Oh that is so reassuring to hear! Dc was on a lower dose, but one of the generic brands. I heard concerta is easier on the system, and asked for this when they increased the dosage. The lower dose has not done much at all, so I am hoping this will be better. I'm praying it doesn't suppress appetite too much.
