Hi, here is one worried parent. My daughter has problems with adhd. At first we thought that everything will past without medications but, normally, it cant. She was on Ritalin for couple of months but she suffers from serious moods swings and lately headaches. We have reported that to the doctor and he has suggested Concerta. What do you think? Any experience with those medications?
Yes I had the similar case in my family. Ritalin can be little hard and cause headaches. Concerta is different. I think that she is weaker but there are two things you should know about it. First one is that she should avoid taking it on an empty stomach, and the second one is that Concerta, if you take her in longer terms, can cause depression because it builds up in system.
