ADHD meds

Brittany • Mommy to a wonderful 12yr old boy, 9yr old boy 7yr old girl 6yr old girl and 3yr old girl. Due March 11th 2023 with a boy.

Any parent on here have a young child on Concerta? If so did they act weird when they started taking it? My 7yr old just got prescribed it today and he has a couple of the side effects. Like dry mouth. He keeps licking the inside of his cheeks and sucking on them. He says he can't sleep and his head hurts a little. I didn't realize it was going to be like this. No one told me it could take up to two weeks for him to feel normal on it.
