Neither me nor my son have ever done well on Concerta. On my first appointment with my new pdoc he kind of snorted when he came to Concerta and Remeron...he obviously doesn't think much of either one of them. For sure it's worth trying a higher dose before you change again.
If you're looking for your next med, I would say to try Focalin XR. Still not a 12 hour med I don't think but a healthy am dose and another dose at noon, a small one, has been great for my 18 year old. Nothing had ever helped him before and his psychiatrist said that he's one of the worst cases of ADHD that he's seen in 30 years of practice.
I know that everyone is different but it is a refined form of Ritalin and it has made a difference. It's at least something different to try.
