stopping Concerta during summer vacation | ADHD Information

Share

Hello,

I would like to stop Concerta during summer vacation but I'm wondering if stopping Concerta overnight is a good thing. Is there a weaning effect? if Yes, what sould I expect?

I noticed if I don't give him a day he is worse than before taking medication and I  think it is because weaning.

thank you

I stopped taking my meds after 6 months or so and it has really messed me up.  I have been feeling sick for almost a week now.  I highly recomend talking to the doctor to make sure you do this without making yoursself sick.

Our Doctor is weaning our son off Concerta (from 27mg to 18mg to hopefully 0).  I tried cold turkey a few months back (on the weekend) and it was a COMPLETE NIGHTMARE - FRIGHTENING (and Dangerous).  We are in the midst of switching medications in which Concerta is losing it's miraculous effects... Our Doctor STRONGLY urges weaning.
