My 14-year-old son is currently on 36mg of Concerta every morning. It seems to work well for him, except he gets terrible evening rebound effects- extra hyperactivity and irritability. Now his psychiatrist wants to switch him to 20mg of Focalin XR, and I'm not sure if that's a good idea because my son also has bipolar disorder. Does anyone have any idea how it affects bipolar when the bipolar is treated as well? Any info would be appreciated.

i am a 27 year old woman with bipolar disorder. i am on 90 mg of concerta and 30 mg of focalin xr. this is the best combination of medications i have found so far. i teach dance and coach cheer leading and recently found out one of my 12 yr old student is on focalin and she is LOVING it! i definitely recommend focalin.
