Try generic: you can try generic and that might save you a lot of money. Not sure a natural remedy will work for this

None: there are no ''natural remedies' that provide the same benefit for ADHD than stimulants. If the cost of concerta is too great, ask your prescriber for a generic form such as Ritalin (methylphenidate) ER, which should be less expensive.

None as effective: Your 15 yr old daughter should have a say in how she feels off v. taking Concerta. Discuss with prescribing doctor her not taking med on non-school days when she's relaxing. She may do fine or struggle with routine tasks. Observe and re-visit with doctor to help you make decision. She may be doing so well overall because this med is helping her. Generics will cut the cost.
