Guanfacine
My 7 yr old son with adhd who had been taking
Concerta
recently had Guanfacine added and takes it in the afternoon. The results have been amazing. For a week almost no issues at all. My wife and I couldn’t believe it. But last night he was extremely difficult when it was time for homework.

Anyone else gone from 36mg to 54mg of Concerta XL and suddenly it no longer works?
Newbie here....was diagnosed with ADHD last month and was prescribed
concerta
xl. 18mg for one week and then onto 36mg for 3 weeks. It felt like it was working fine and being effective but it was suggested that I go up to 54mg. I started 54mg last Monday 20th and I was expecting the sudden 'Woah!

My joints are constantly hurting, but I also drink caffinated beverages while I'm taking the meds.

Concerta
18 mg. Lasted less than a week. What a trip. At least I know what to avoid this time.

Irritability in the evenings
I’m on Focalin XR (was on
Concerta
but switched because it was such a pain tracking the
Concerta
down). I think the
Concerta
was slightly better at helping me through the transition but the Focalin is fine otherwise. I take the pill at 7 ish, so clearly it’s wearing off by 6.

has anybody switched from Vyvanse to Concerta because Vyvanse only last a couple hours?
I am thinking about switching to
Concerta
because of the way, your body metabolizes it may last longer. has anybody ever switched from Vyvanse to
Concerta
because Vyvanse was not lasting long?

concerta dosage being upped
Been on 36mg
concerta
xl (the slow release kind) for a good while now and have moved up to 54mg on Tuesday. Since then I am noticing more anxiety and a change in mood - only slightly but not much else yet - my question is.

ADHD, learning probs and anxiety
He takes
concerta
and it helps a lot with almost no side effects. He’s always been a more anxious kid, would worry about odd things when little (the toilet over flowing and causing a flood in the house) he is and always has STRUGGLED in school. New concepts are very difficult and has dysgraphia.

Slowing Things Down
I’m currently on 54 mg of
Concerta
, but it doesn’t seem to be doing a great job and I’m waiting to speak to my psychiatrist about changing. In the meantime, I’m looking for ways to slow down my brain so I can see the things that need to get done without the overwhelm.

Socially, Concerta vs Adderall
My psychiatrist has me using
Concerta
and Adderall or Dexedrine (due to the shortage of Adderall) on different days. It seems that I communicate better and calmer on the
Concerta
; however, I feel better on the Adderall which helps with my energy as well. Has anyone else experienced this?

Newly medicated, concerta, now Ritalin.
After a little bit of research I see Ritalin is also methylphenidate which has me wondering if it’s going to make me feel exactly the same way as
Concerta
?

Concerta XL starting side effects
My 15 year old daughter has commenced 18mg
concerta
4 days ago and is due to increase to 36mg after one week. We’re obviously not expecting to see any effect as yet but she is complaining of a constant heavy frontal headache. She isn’t complaining of nausea or a dry mouth.

Concerta, How do you know it’s working?
My son is on his 3rd week of
Concerta
. 18mg week 1, 36mg week 2 and now on 54mg. He is having trouble saying if it is having any positive effect. The first week he had a low level headache for a few days, which wore off.

short release vs fast release meds ??
I originally started on
concerta
on two different doses and felt that it made my anxiety so bad even after giving it an adjustment period, so I was switched to dexamfetamine aspen fast release with 2 x 5mg every 3 hours.
