Concerta Vs Daytrana

My 9 yr old son has been diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive, Anxiety and ADHD. we tried Adderall and while that worked for a while we had to stop because of side effects. He now takes Seroquel and Zoloft. They are working great for the OCD and Anxiety. We tried concerta for the ADHD and he turned into the incredible hulk within an hour of taking it. Does anyone know if the Daytrana patch works the same with the same side effects as Concerta?

Yes, it is the same active ingredient, so the side effects would be essentially the same, instead of taking a pill, Daytrana just gives you a time released patch.
