When should my concerta dosage be raised?
Hi, I’m 18 years old and I just got diagnosed with ADHD 6 days ago, and I started taking concerta (18 mg) 5 days ago. So far I feel absolutely nothing. Barley any improvement and no side effects. I was able to go in and out of focus in one class (might be a placebo effect), but I still couldn’t focus

Derealization increasing in the afternoon
For the past week I have been experiencing extreme derealization that has been greatly effecting my life and creating extreme distress. The first time I experienced this feeling was when I was kayaking with my friend. It was a sunny day (as i live in california) and we we're about to start to kayak.

Lost and Scared
I’m 28 year old mom living with ADD/ADHD/Anxiety. I was diagnosed as a child and recently as an adult. I started taking medicine to help with symptoms but haven’t found the right one yet. I’ve tried concerta, retlin and Vyvanse recently. Concerta was helpful in my childhood but I believe I caused depression
