My son is 8 and was just switched from 18mg to 27mg of Concerta. He takes it at 7:15 a.m. He seems to be having trouble between 2 and 3 p.m. everyday. He told his teacher that sometimes the medicine makes him feel "crazy." It seems that he's a little out of control and is impulsive, but it subsides by 4:00 p.m. I know that Concerta peaks approx. 7 hours after you take it. Could he be on too high a dose?
Thanks

Hi...i am 29 and that is how it made me feel. The doc had me on 36mg once or twice a day. I felt really spaced out and like i was going crazy! I didn't like that stuff. My doc then gave me Adderall and I love it. Maybe ask the about that.

sincerely,
