Has anyone found any discounts for Concerta. It is incredibly expensive and my insurance won't cover it. Any online suggestions for pharmacies with a good history?

My son takes concerta 54 and with ritalin 10 mg as a combination. He has his good and bad days. He was on the strattera and it didn't work. I have heard but bad things about that one it could be just tha one medication that is doing that. Are both dosages high that maybe it also. Or get another doctor that deals with that particular problem.

My stepson has been taking concerta and strattera, and in the past 2 years he has had 3 seizure's. After my husband and i went online to get info. about these medications we are concerned that the medication is causeing the seizures. My husband talked to his X about talking him off the medications but she refuses, she said the doctor said thats not cause it...But it contuines to happen. The thing that makes us so said is that we had him off the medication last summer for a couple of weeks, and he seemed so alive, outgoing, happy....and on the meds he a depressed little always sad and tired...Has anyone ever had this problem with this medicaton?
