ADHD
"My 4th grade son began taking Concerta 2 1/2 weeks ago. It has been the best decision I ever made. His teacher says he is a completely different child. His funny personality remains but he is on task, finishes all his homework in class, and actually tells other children to quite down. I lamented for many, many months about whether or not to have him begin a stimulant. It is obvious that it was the right decision. I make sure he eats a hearty breakfast. He knows he needs to push himself to eat something at lunch and drink plenty of fluids. He did tell me he felt &quot;prickles in his head&quot; for the first 2 days. His teacher reported he was a little tired for a couple days as well. He says his mind is more clear and &quot;not so jumbled&quot;. We&#039;re thrilled"
