Concerta (54 mg.) vs. Focalin XR. Was this the right move in meds? My son (11 yrs old) just switched from Concerta (last dose - 54 mg.) to Focalin XR. So, far so good. Was this the right move in meds? My son had lots lots of weight on Concerta and I wanted a change in the medicine my son was on. Has any one switched from Concerta to Focalin XR?? Is Focalin XR working better for you ?? Quote
