Hi there , guess it did not post the first time. My 11 year old son is takeing Concerta he started that one in 06. They started testing him and it is not showing up in his urin. He takes it each day. I am so worried about him. We have had a Social Worker with a State Cop. He has been tested 6 times, I have ask them to do blood work and they will not, I had to change DR.'s . He is to the point of crying and he tells them what he takes and how often it has gotten way out of hand I do not know what to do. Just a mom.

Concerta contains the active ingredient Methylphenidate, it is a stimulant, commonly used to treat ADHD and Narcolepsy.
Have you actually seen him take the medication?
Do you know what kind of test they are doing?
There are some types of tests it would not show up on, they would need to be specifically looking for this drug, it will not show up on standard screenings, such as those that may just test for narcotics.
Is he showing any of the side effects of the medication?
Hi there , took him to the DR. he said they would order a test for the concerta. The other DR.'s were testing him for ever drug on the maket. Trust me he takes it each day if he misses a does wow! I do not even haft to tell him to take it. Now where there has been no trust with the DR.s he comes to me with it in his mouth. The damage they have done is unreal. Honestly if I had a good lawyer that would not be bought out I would lay it on them. This all started with the school ! HE IS ADHD! Iwill let you know when the test comes back. Many thanks.
