Cheryl, I'm sorry I haven't answered this yet!! I just saw it today.

As far as I can tell, Cami is doing fine on the Concerta. It's just very hard to tell really. The only thing she is doing during the summer that requires her focus is the swimming and my dad is the one that takes her since it is during my work hours. :P He tells me she is doing ok though.

The only thing I can say I have noticed is on the days she takes it she is not quite so wild in the afternoons than she was with the Ritalin.

The real test will come when school resumes, but I am in no way in a hurry for that! 8-)

Thanks for asking.

Sarcastic afterthought here: 8-) She has been eating a lot of fruits and vegies this summer as well as getting her hour and a half of exercise everyday with the swimming..... so who knows, according to " Dr." Cruise, she maybe cured by summer's end! ;D ;D ;D

Christy, so far so good then.... i hope this good swing continues during the school year too.....and who know´s...mayby she´ll "outgrow" it like doc. tom ´might say ;D

Heck Marja, if diet and exercise really WAS the cure all to end all, I'd be healthy as a horse!! Course, I guess Dock Tom needs to define what HE considers " Diet" and exercise.

Mayby doc Tom could give us some good ideas ;D ;D ;D but I will not ask for them ;D ;D

We have one OT who believes on healthy living and dietary change´s...that person drives me so mad...like enough exercise would cure all
