My daughter is 11 years old. She was taking ritalin tabs 10mg. a.m., 5 mg. at noon and 5 at 4 p.m. last year with very good success. This year was a different story. When we tried to up the meds to 10, 10 and 5, it seemed as though she got very anxious. We decreased to 10, 5 and 5 and she was not as anxious as she had been (picking at her skin, etc.). The problem is, she still seems very impulsive to me ( a lot of yelling, and anger). Anyways, I was thinking about Concerta and was wondering what the dosage would be for her. Any ideas?
thanks, elise
