Hi there
my son started Ritalin, and then went on to Concerta. He now has one short acting 10 mg Ritalin at the same time as a 18mg Concerta. This combination has been effective in reducing his impulsive behaviour, however is appears he still has very impulsive thoughts. He is also a bit more teary than normal. We go back to the doctor on January 10. Just wondering, did anyone out there notice similar symptoms with their child, and did it help when they increased the Concerta? Is it true that gifted kids need higher dosages of Concerta due to having more neurons in their brain? Looking forward to your responses
