Experiences with

Concerta XL

Newbie here....was diagnosed with ADHD last month and was prescribed concerta xl. 18mg for one week and then onto 36mg for 3 weeks. It felt like it was working fine and being effective but it was suggested that I go up to 54mg. I started 54mg last Monday 20th and I was expecting the sudden 'Woah!

Just starting my journey through titration with meds(currently 54mg concerta XL) too high I feel. Just happy to know I'm not alone and not losing my mind 😊 well not totally.

However, I was recently also diagnosed with severe adult ADHD, which I’m now taking medication for (methylphenidate /Concerta XL slow release).

My 15 year old daughter has commenced 18mg concerta 4 days ago and is due to increase to 36mg after one week. We’re obviously not expecting to see any effect as yet but she is complaining of a constant heavy frontal headache. She isn’t complaining of nausea or a dry mouth. I’m unsure if it is the meds

Hi everyone. My son who is 18 has just taken his first dose of Concerta today and his ‘prescriber’ who is titrating him, doesn’t seem to want to answer the question about Coca Cola. I know you are supposed to avoid caffeine, but would it be ok to have the odd coke in the evening 2 to 3 times a week?

Hi, I have a 19 year old daughter, diagnosed with ADHD four years ago. I always thought it was just anxiety. I have to say that I'm of the belief that ADHD, anxiety, OCD, etcetera, have psychological causes, and that's primarily what needs to be addressed. But I see my daughter struggling to keep
