Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
There are several alternative stimulant medications to Concerta. Some of these include Adderall, Vyvanse, and Focalin. All are equally effective and equally safe, it's just a matter of trying these medications until one is found that works particularly well.

Detailed Answer:
No, these medications affect adults MUCH differently than children. I strongly recommend not taking his Concerta anymore. The way your child experiences it is not at all how you experience it.
