Dosing and Concerta
I'm a child/adolescent psychologist, so you need to check with your physician, but I don't think Concerta comes in a smaller dose than 18 mg. Due to the design of the pills, it is also not possible to cut a pill in half.
I'm so sorry that you are having trouble with sever side effects. As far as medication, I think that it is very important that you find the best specialist physician you can and to be persistent about finding a physician who is right for your child.
As far as alternative treatments, I would recommend looking at CHADD's excellent handouts on complementary and alternative treatments.
The very best of luck to you in finding the best treatment for your child.
