Re: Concerta vs new Generic Concerta

[Anonymous]

Caper, don’t forget that everyone of us have a unique body which means we all metabolize our meds differently than one another. When my son used Ritalin-SR, I found myself questioning if I had even remembered to give him his meds. I finally started writing down the exact time I had given him his meds to reassure myself (brain-addled ADDer) that I had indeed given him the stuff. End result? Ritalin SR was as good as giving him a glass of water to drink. Did diddly squat for him.

So some of us need brand name Concerta while others may manage with the generic and still others like you will do even better with Ritalin SR.

My psychiatrist told me he was going to write “No substitutions” on my scripts because he had been hearing a long litany of sad tales from his other patients who had been given the generic version. He was not ‘amused’ with their reports of problems being experienced. I didn’t even have to worry that I would have to give the generic a try- he brought up the topic of the generic and declared it a NO.
