Concerta
I just started Concerta 3 days ago and this drowsy feeling is unbearable. Will this tiredness eventually go away once my body gets used to the medication or should I contact my doctor to get the prescription changed asap. It's only 18mg for the first week and I'm supposed to increase to 60mg in 2 weeks

Increased Irritability- could it be medication related.
I have recently transitioned to Concerta now on 54mg and I like the improvement in focus and productivity. But I have noticed that I have become increasingly irritable. Am at home with 6 y/o in lockdown (Zimbabwe). Freelancing and Homeschooling. When I am really involved in my work and my son wants to

Innatentive ADD is ruining my life
I have what is considered "time blindness" and even though I'm constantly on my ass about it, constantly trying different strategies to fight it, and have lost multiple sources of income with it... it continues to ruin me.

Is anyone’s child on Concerta 54mg
My 9yo. son was recently diagnosed with ADHD. He was first put on guanficine which really helped his impulsiveness however made him extremely tired- like a zombie. We are trying Concerta- at 18mg we saw no difference, 36mg also no difference. Our doctor would like us to try 54mg however I’m worried

Adhd med with low side effects wanted
My 11 year old has ADHD and ASD. He was on Vyvanse for 5 years and ended at 40mg a day. We took him off because although his focus was good, the side effect of him being grumpy instead of his usual happy personality was getting in the way of him socializing. We tried Concerta at 27 mg a day and he was

Family with ADHD son in need of help
Good Day. I am hoping that I can find advice on these forums as I am at my wit's end. My son was diagnosed with ADHD at about age 5. At first I did not want to believe it and was opposed to the medication that was being recommended to control it. I have had a bad experience with medications first

Caffeine and Concerta
Don’t know why I didn’t think of this before but I backed off Concerta from 54 to 36 mg. Was better yesterday from side effects but had more caffeine today and feeling irritable, jittery and all over the place. I’m guessing cutting back on caffeine would help?

Concerta working or making things worse?
if Concerta doesn't seem to be working and it actually makes some symptoms worse at 54 mg dose after a few weeks should I continue to try taking it or does that mean it's just not gonna work? It seemed to help just a little at a low dose so my doc increase it. Now I feel irritable and nervous and

Hi! Just joined and could really use some help and support.
First, I apologize for my long post. It has been difficult to find support, so I'm kind-of pouring it all out right now. My 8 year old daughter was diagnosed with ADHD right before the pandemic hit, and while we have several concerns and lots of questions, we do not have much support to address those

Recently starting medication
I just recently started my child on Concerta and have been having mixed feelings about putting him on medication to begin with when he was diagnosed with ADHD (attention and organization shown the most). I didn't want to jump to medication and wanted to try other approaches first, but I'm still finding
