Concerta Reviews
Working / Worked
Was not a high enough dosage, but started out working great. Had break downs emotionally while on it. It was timed release.
Working / Worked
We started out at lowest dose and have increased to 27 mg. It is working wonderfully and the only side effect is trouble sleeping at night so my son takes .2 Clonidine.

This really worked for him but than his headaches got worse. So we had to take him off.

I've been on concerta since I was 6 even though you're technically supposed to wait till your 7 but I was about to be held back, I had severe behavior issues, and I could run on 4-5 hours of sleep in one week, at first the side effects that I felt were dizi-ness and insomnia, but after a while it went away but then in 7th year I had to take it without eating anything and then nausea was a side effect most felt.
