I had to go a few days without the medication and noticed I was more emotional, easily upset. Has anyone else had that affect?

yesterday I started my son who is 5 1/2 on Concerta 18 mgs, didn’t notice any side effects, didn’t lose his appetite, didn’t complain of being dizzy or his stomach hurting. I did notice when it wore off at night and his hyperactivity returning prior to bedtime.
