Does anyone know the “top limit” of zoloft a child can take.
8+ yr old is on 50 mg of zoloft. I can’t decide if zoloft needs to be upped of if the concerta needs to be upped.
I know that Concerta is a time release med. But it only lasts 10-12 hrs. Well afternoons (4pm-9pm) are very hard.
What I’m wondering is (also - apart from above question about zoloft) - is should I (you know - really - the Dr) increase the Concerta - or is it possible to take ANOTHER Concerta in the evening time - to carry her thru the evening - and then even maybe give her a better start to mornings (since when I give her meds in morning *I’m* not really seeing benefit but the teacher certainly is (teacher says mornings are always great with Lauren). Or should she take maybe a Ritalin in the evening when she gets home from sch which would give her like 3-5 hrs of focus enough to get her to bed. (I ask her about 10-15 times each night to brush her teeth, wash her face and get her pj’s on - she takes showers in the morning since she’s also SID (sensory integration dysfunction) it helps her out sensory wise in the morning).
Anyways..just wondering about a few of these things.
