Are stimulants suppose to be temporary or lifelong?
When I was on Concerta XR I ended up at the highest dosage and it did nothing for me every step of the way. I then got on Adderall 10mg IR and it was amazing for me! I ended up building a tolerance I guess because it went from lasting 6 hours to lasting 3 hours. My psychiatrist changed my medication

What meds do you take for bipolar disorder?
No need to list exact dosages, I'm just trying to get a feeling for what's being tried. I've recently switched from lamotrigine and ziparasidone (started causing tardive dyskinesia) to valproex acid, Latuda, and Concerta (a stimulant). But now I feel nauseated all the time and have lost my optimism,

Has anyone continuously increased their dosage for ADHD meds to the max dose & not feel tolerant to it each time? I'm frustrated.
I'm new to this forum, but I have been on Concerta and have been increasing the dose. Some doses my APRN kept me on for months after saying I felt no long lasting effects each time I've taken it. I've also been taking brakes from it when I don't need to take it (advised by my APRN) but still saw no

Xaggitin XL no effect
I’ve been recently diagnosed with ADHD combined type (aged 41) I’ve spent a lifetime assuming I have depression, before something prompted me to find out more about ADHD and then everything made sense! I’ve always struggled with motivation and work- it’s as if there’s a force field around the things

Methylphenidate XR vs Instant
Hello. Wondering whether anyone has experience of both? I am taking 27mg XR, (upped from 18mg a week ago) and have also been prescribed 5mg instant methylphenidate to take 'at night', to see if it helps mood swings/ struggle to sleep. I have received Xaggitin in my prescription for the first time,

Wondering About Options to Concerta
Hi-I am new here and not really sure what to post. I've been on concerta but I feel like it makes me really tired and does not help at all with my symptoms. Any suggestions on how to address or what to do?

Using concerts along with natural treatments
I am wondering about adding a natural treatment to treatment. We are presently using concerta 27mg. It has helped with school somewhat but not too much with mood and self regulation at home. Has anyone tried any products like SNAP. Can this be used with concerta?

Switching from stimulant to non-stimulant
Hi everyone! I am new to the group and wish I would have joined a long time ago. My 7 year old son was diagnosed with ADHD when he was 5. He has been on Concerta ER for 2.5 years. We started at 18mg, went up to 27mg last year and recently went up to 36mg. The 36mg seemed to make him more irritable and

Concerta 27 mg and Straterra 25 mg
Hello! I posted about a week or two ago about an upcoming visit to my 14-year-old son's pediatrician. We had noticed some major changes over the last few months, and he went from being described as "a great student" by his teachers to failing every subject. His doctor put him on a combo of concerta

Xaggitin XL and alcohol
My son (age 20) was diagnosed with ADHD a month ago and was prescribed Xaggitin XL on an 18mg dose. He hasn’t been experiencing any side affects but has been violently sick after drinking alcohol on 3 occasions now. Not a usual thing for him. I’m aware alcohol is to be avoided per the leaflet however

Concerta making ADHD symptoms worse
My 8 year old has been on 30 mg of Quillichew for some time. His ped wanted to try something else because of his loss of appetite. She put him on Concerta. First 18 mg then because he was exhibiting impulsivity, 27 mg. I have received numerous calls from school about his behavior. Jumping on tables,

Switching from ritalin to concerta
Hi! I've recently been diagnosed with ADHD and have been taking ritalin for a few months but have decided to try out concerta to try avoid the peaks and troughs that come with ritalin and get something a bit more long lasting. I'm kind of nervous to take concerta and was wondering if anyone else had

Frustrations with my psychiatrist/am I overreacting?
I've had adhd practically my entire life. It got to a debilitating point by the time I was 15 where I had to put my entire life on hold. Long story but I'm 22 now and just getting diagnosed and treated for it, and I don't have a driver's license, never had a job, and had to stop my GED because of it.

How to get a prescription in the US?
I just moved to the country two weeks ago. I take Concerta for my ADHD along with other anxiety medication. The medication and dosage took and my psychiatrist back home along time to get right. So, I’m looking for the best and easiest way to get the same prescription here. I do have the original prescription

Uhg—another failed med? Concerta.
I gave my 6 year old the smallest dose of Concerta for the first time and it did NOT have a good effect. He was so hyped up and he talked endlessly all day, and he couldn’t speak to keep up with his own thoughts. He made zero sense, while normally he speaks pretty clearly. Not to mention his aggressive
