Concerta has stopped working | ADHD Information

Hi I have 2 kids on Concerta daughter-ADD 9 , son adHd 8.

They both started on the 18mg of Concerta with excellent results for about 4-5 months.  Daughter started being innattentive first, we increased her to 27 mg with little results.  Now my son is being impulsive/hyper similar to how he was before meds.  I am hesitant to increase his dose as he has lost 2 pounds since starting meds and it may not help him anyway (if he is like my daughter- it didn't help her.) I let him try the higher dose for the past two days with no difference as of yet.

Do you think switching them to Adderall might be a solution?  I just feel like they have become immune to the Concerta.
