Since this week she is full of headaches and for the last 2 days she has been vomiting 1x a day and continues to eat which is the opposite of gastro Can my daughter have migraines and/or headaches with vomiting with a new ADHD medication called concerta? No they are intermittent. She doesn't know how to replaint since this weekend. thank you for your answer Thank you very much for your advice have a nice day

Hello ma'am, what exactly is your question? :) Thanks for the feedback! Indeed, the product monograph for Concerta mentions that it can cause headaches and nausea. These possible side effects are temporary, however, and if they persist for 2-3 weeks, it would be appropriate to re-evaluate the place of Concerta. Have the headaches been there every day since Concerta was started? Thank you for the information! The best solution for a headache would be acetaminophen (Tylenol or other brands) which is compatible with Concerta (unless your child has another type of prescription for it). If the situation persists, I suggest talking to your child's doctor. Sincerely Tom Samaha, pharmacist With pleasure, do not hesitate if there is anything!
