I was treated with both Concerta and Ritalin. It helped for a while, but then tolerance came into play, as well as severe mood changes when the short acting ritalin would wear off, that's when we tried the Concerta. Very pricy but worth it if it provides relief. I'm on parnate now and feel good for the first time in years except for weight gain and acne side effects. The diet isn't as restrictive as I was initially lead to believe. Hope u find some relief!
