medication not working in the am | ADHD Information

It is time to re-evaluate meds with the doc as Iganio said. They can develope tolerance or as the body changes (puberty?), or the challenges in school change, sleep changes, stress changes... the needs for the meds can change. It may be that a larger dose or a different form is needed.

I need advice,

My daughter has been on Concerta for 4 years.  First year 36, Third year 54 and now it doesn't seem to be working as well.  The strange thing is that I give it to her at  6:30 in the morning.  School starts at 8:15.  The teacher told me that the first couple of hours at school she gets very distracted and then it get's better.  That seems opposite of what I would think would be happening.  The meds. should work better in the morning and wear off quickier?  Anyone experience this

My son was on Concerta starting with 36 mg in kindergarten and then up to 54.  In third grade they even tried 72mg which i was uncomfortable with and we found a new doctor.  The doctor we then took him to said it was time to change medications.  We put him on Adderall.  He is currently doing much better with the adderall.  Maybe it is time to re-evaluate the medication.
