That was a great idea from medlib. Still another possibility is taking a small regular Ritalin dose (5 or 10 mg) early in the a.m., followed by your Concerta later in the a.m. A bit of overlap should prevent rebound during the day. Perhaps an overlap in the am and pm would work best. You might have to experiment to find the best times and doses. We are paying for Concerta for our daughter. It has been a great med, but is a bit pricey compared to the original Ritalin (same chemical structure without the high-tech delivery system). Our insurance pays some, but it is definitely not on their "preferred" list. Most of my meds aren't either, so the out-of-pocket expeditures can add up quickly. Check me out on solutions.com :) Wish I could come up with some for myself.

Hope you find something that works.

Blessings,

Chris A.
