Which is more effective, Concerta or Ritalin?
My 10-year-old son has been diagnosed with ADHD. He struggles at school, doesn't like to change his regular habits, and sometimes feels bad about himself because he doesn't understand why he acts differently, despite my reassurances that he is wonderful just the way he is. His pediatrician has prescribed Methylphenidate. I am reluctant to give him the medicine, but in groups of parents with kids who have ADHD, almost everyone swears that the medicine has been a life changer for them, even saying that they were diagnosed with ADHD as kids and the medicine helped them a lot. Now I feel guilty for not giving him the medicine. I would like to know your opinion. I appreciate your help.
