Just a quick question. My sons pdoc is starting him on Straterra 40mg. He was taking 54mg of Concerta XL (extended release). I have read that stopping concerta suddenly can cause issues. The doctor did not mention slowly tapering him off, he just said to start giving him the straterra he has been on the concerta for a good period of time (less than a year but longer than 6 months).
Should he be tapered off this while starting Straterra? can he take smaller doses of concerta while still taking the straterra?Thanks :)
(I plan on calling the pdoc tomorrow to make sure but just wondering in the mean time!)
