Still having school problems
So my son has been on
concerta
for over a month and his teachers still complain. Especially his reading/writing iep teacher. She always telling him your not focused and screaming. He can’t stand her. He has her at the end of the day.

"Unspecified Attention Disorder"-- is this "real" ADHD?
I now take the extended release (
Concerta
, 54mg) daily with Bupropion ER (300mg), and it has helped somewhat (i.e., I can focus for longer, but it hasn't helped with procrastination, being increasingly late to things, and getting fixated on an emotion, especially when it's one of guilt/shame at failing

Any advice
My son has been on
concerta
since before the winter break. I don’t really see any improvement or difference other then he cries too much. His teacher says that he is doing fine in his math and science class.

ADHD other psychiatric conditions - Which is it?
My daughter takes medication for the mania, which usually controls it, and also take
Concerta
for the ADHD. Sometimes I think her depression and actions are the bipolar and then sometimes I think it's just the ADHD.

New to ADD meds but need to switch
Unfortunately, our insurance does not cover the generic
Concerta
36mg METHYLPHENIDATE HYDROCHLORIDE so it costs $209 a month since we have a very high deductible.

agonizing over every word
There are two crucial pieces to this puzzle, one, my coming off of Zoloft (which I had taken for over 6 years), and the introduction of
Concerta
(which I swiftly tossed due to an unfortunate “last dose” that skyrocketed my OCD and anxiety).

Guanfacine xr
My 6 year old has combined ADHD and was given 18mg
concerta
. He was on it for a couple weeks and he turned into an emotional tornado. Extreme Crying/angry meltdowns. He is generally a very happy kid. The psychiatrist took him off the
concerta
and put him on Guanfacine xr.

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.

New to elvanse/vyvanse and need huge dose any advice about mixing it with other meds for depression and why I only get 4 hours effect ?
I’m seeing my adhd specialist on Tuesday and live in the UK so can only get elvanse/ vyvanse or
concerta
, Ritalin wasn’t helpful but maybe it can be used to boost elvanse effect ?

15 yr old ADHD son w/Oppositional behaviors
He's on adderall XR 10-15 mg/day, tried
Concerta
& natural Fish Oil route to no avail. Getting 3 D's in classes. He punched a large hole in my wall & had a cursing rage when we were discussing school 2 nites ago. Said when we talk about grades, it makes him even more unmotivated for school.

Stimulant Rollercoaster
I took a long break and decided to give them a try again, I got put on
Concerta
it was amazing it worked flawless until I needed an increase then I couldn't handle it! I'd crash, freak out, rage, basically insane.

ADHD AND RAPID CYCLING BIPOLAR, stimulants stopped working
Do all stimulants Just stop working, I’m in the Uk and can only get Ritalin,
concerta
or elvanse. I’ve probably got faulty genes as my 3 kids all have disorders, my son has autism.

Lost and Scared
I’ve tried
concerta
, retlin and Vyvanse recently.
Concerta
was helpful in my childhood but I believe I caused depression. I’m currently on Vyvanse 30 which isn’t helping me focus. I’m so inattentive & easily distracted.

I need some support
He has nephrotic syndrome and he has to take other strong meds that interacted with
concerta
. I have never asked anyone about adhd symptoms, I usually search and read a lot. Now, I really want to know if any other kid acts like him.

New to this & new to ADHD
I’ve been on
concerta
but that made me feel sleepy and exhausted, moved to Adderall xr 5mg and was fine but a few weeks later I was back to being distracted. Now I’m starting to feel like that on 10 mg . I feel embarrassed to ask my doc to up it again . Anyone had a similar experience?

Good food, I give up
She barely eats lunch at all (which I understand she's on
concerta
) dinner, nada (I don't like this anymore, no matter chicken, salmon, beef) she ends up eating pizza or a frozen cheeseburger at the end of the night when I'm desperate to get calories in her.

Jobs that suit inattentive type
I’m currently on
Concerta
and trying supplements such as flaxseed and tyrosine. Adderall and Vyvanse had to many side affects such as anxiety and aggression. I’m in my mid fifties now struggling with menopause as well. What a disastrous combination.

Exhausted, worried, single mom
The last appointment he increased his
Concerta
, and added 1 mg. Generic intuniv. The last few weeks he’s done great, he even earned his Friday snacks 2 weeks in a row. After school today, he was upset because I wouldn’t let him play basketball up at his school, it was cold and rainy out.
