Re: Concerta vs new Generic Concerta

wpgmom, (Or is that winterpgmom?)

I’m glad to hear that your insurer covers the bulk of the cost. School is tough enough for our ADD children and having access to the right med for them can make a world of difference to our kids (and that’s coming from a teacher!). Yessiree, I’ve seen an astounding turnaround for one of my students in the last 2 weeks. Mom can’t stop crying because she is so happy, and dad? Well, he’s changed his tune from “no meds ever, ever!” to “Oh, ohhh…… I think this WAS the right thing!”

We are so fortunate to have so many options to use/try to help us out with our ADD. Really!

I work in a Special Ed class for children with severe behavioural difficulties. ADD is never the reason they are placed with me, just one of many details in their lives. Proper treatment of ADD (however the parents/doctors decide to do so) certainly assists the child in achieving some success while we work on helping them deal with and manage all their other issues. Yeah, I consider myself lucky to just have ADD to deal with.

If a child is helped by the brand name drug as opposed to the generic, I say let it be available to them!
