Concerta Reviews
Any differance between Generic and name brand Concerta??
Besides the price (for me at least 
My son (then 9) started on name brand Concerta 36 mg at the end of last school year..it worked well and the side effects got “doable” with time. This past school year generic came out and the Dr. started writng the prescription for that. I didn’t notice any change…but to be honest wasn’t looking for any. I have heard others say that the generic can have the opposit effect it is supposed to and other things even memos at Drs offices saying not to prescribe generic. Have any of you noticed any change with generic or heard anything from medical professionlas about any difference??

Check the label on your prescription bottle and see if the pills are made by Watson Pharmaceuticals. If so, these are Concerta, not a generic. Watson won a federal ruling allowing them to repackage Concerta and label them generic.
