plateau on meds

Submitted by an LD OnLine user on

My son just began taking Concerta about 4 days ago. I have heard that it is common for kids to plateau on their meds resulting in adjustments in dosage needing to be made frequently. Is this true?

Yes it is true…My daughter has been on Concerta for about 4 years now. She started when she was 10 she is now 14… About every 18months we have made an adjustment on her meds. She started at 18mg, went to 36, and now she is at 54 in 4 years…for us the increase in meds usually happens with a growth spurt…
