Adhd med with low side effects wanted
We tried
Concerta
at 27 mg a day and he was still too hyper so we upped it to 36mg a day. Unfortunately it is making it hard for him to fall asleep and it is giving him the grumpy personality again.

Family with ADHD son in need of help
I am not sure if there are better alternatives to Neucon (
Concerta
) without the appetite suppressant.

Innatentive ADD is ruining my life
So I changed medication to
Concerta
which is FAR more tame in comparison, while still working.

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.

Inattentive ADHD and Medication
I am considering this because Vyyanse is in the amphetamine class and
Concerta
is the methamphetamine.

Hi! Just joined and could really use some help and support.
We have tried Adderall,
Concerta
and Vyvanse. Currently, she is taking Guanfacine, which is not providing much help. We also tried Guanfacine with Adderall to no avail.

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).

ADHD update
My methylphenidate aka
Concerta
. That’s the brand I take. It’s working, though the side effect of suppressed appetite is apparent. I’m at a healthy weight and the doctor and I agreed to watch it. My anxieties are still there and I can get wrapped up in my head, but I’m better at handling it.

New Diagnosis
I have tried Adderall, Ritalin, Vyvanse and
Concerta
to no avail. They did help manage my ADHD pretty well but I just couldn't stand the neck discomfort. I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this and if theres something else that worked for you.

Looking for ADHD coach for my 20 year old son
He can’t take
concerta
because he’s allergic. He functioned on meds until his junior year in high school and then he started self-medicating with pot. He was sooo skinny no appetite. Very difficult time. With help from all involved he was able to graduate.

Diagnosed and starting Meds at 26 - What should I look for?
I was prescribed
Concerta
and have been taking a low dose for 4 days now. The biggest thing I am hoping the medication will help me with is emotional dysregulation and feelings of anxiety/depression. Have meds helped anyone else in this domain?
