Canadian Exchange Student Inquiry on travelling with ADHD meds
I suffer from ADHD, so I take medication (
Concerta
) to function and actually be able to attend classes and enjoy school. However, I've received a lot of contradictory information about how to proceed in order to have access to my meds once I'll be in the US...

Experiences with Concerta
I started
Concerta
a little over a week ago. The first couple days it was amazing. I had so much energy and focus, I was literally going from one thing to another all day getting things done, So productive. Then it changed , now I am super tired, unmotivated and feel very blah.

ADHD Question
I was diagnosed with inattentive ADHD 3 months ago and was put on
concerta
. Throughout that time, I focused so hard my shortfalls as a person and mistakes I made throughout my life. I realized that I focus a lot on the negative and anxious thoughts.

He was on adderall 5mg; then 5 mg with a 2.5mg mid day for the first year and then put on
Concerta
18 XR middle of first grade at 6 YO. He was on the
concerta
18 until October of 2022 when they upped his dose to 27 XR due to some behavioral/focusing problems at school.

Looking for medication advice for ADHD-inattentive type and anxiety
In the past, I tried
Concerta
and Strattera and both made me feel really jittery, sick and dizzy. A nurse practitioner prescribed me Adderall recently but after reading about it some, I am afraid to take it. Any advice about this would be helpful.

Can ADHD Medication Stop Working?
We did multiple iterations of medication trial and error, and landed with
Concerta
(first 18mg, then 27mg, now 36mg), Celexa (20mg), and Hydroxyzine (2mg) for daytime, and Clonidine (.1mg) for sleep. We had good success with this combination for over a year.

New Here, trying to find support
I'm in talk therapy, have been for the past 10+ years, been on meds (a whole host of 'em) for the same amount (maybe slightly less as I was a child of
concerta
and have a healthy side-eye for the pharmaceutical industry). But I don't know what support really looks like. I'm hoping to find that.

life anxiety or medication anxiety
I changed to
Concerta
XL and it was immediately great and gave me focus and didn’t feel anxious. I tried 36mg, then 56 and tried 72mg for a week and then dropped back down. now on 56mg for a month. I’ve started to feel anxious and have had to take some time off work.

concerta
I got the starting dose, 18 mg . Not possible to dilute them, so should I take one more everyday already? I don't want to become crazy with anxiety. It doesn't exactly does nothing, it made me lose my car twice in parking lots and search for adresses on the wrong side of the street. It also makes

Should we change medication?
We switched to
Concerta
as a longer lasting option, but it was terrible. He had rage outbursts every day. So, the doctor switched him back to Biphentin. We still struggle with some anger each day, the ability to stay calm in the face of minor challenges.

Need someone Knowledgeable in adhd medications
He has been taking
concerta
for the last 3 years until about 2 months ago. It's good for him, but he will not grow and will not eat. Plus, it makes him have horrible constipation to the point of having to go to the hospital sometimes.

Has anyone taken the GeneSight test? What was your experience, was it helpful for your medication management?
I've been on 18mg of
Concerta
since January 2021, until the last couple of months. I started feeling more anxiety/hyper-ness/hypomanic. I started taking longer & longer breaks until I stopped the
Concerta
completely.
