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.

ADHD meds might have made my son worse?
So then we tried
Concerta
with intuniv for sleep. My son never had issues with sleep but as soon as the meds came along he had sleep issues. He then gained a lot of weight so his self-esteem was shot and he became depressed. So we tried adding a mild anti depressant.

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.

Concerta XL and coca cola
My son who is 18 has just taken his first dose of
Concerta
today and his ‘prescriber’ who is titrating him, doesn’t seem to want to answer the question about Coca Cola. I know you are supposed to avoid caffeine, but would it be ok to have the odd coke in the evening 2 to 3 times a week?

LDN for ADHD when taking Concerta?
We were wondering whether LDN can be taken while also taking ADHD meds (in this case, she is on
Concerta
- slow release Methylphenidate). We were hoping that she might be able to slowly taper off the
Concerta
and use LDN in the meantime to help with the ADHD.

Stim to non-stim?
I think I'm about done with generic
concerta
18mg and the resulting insomnia. No bueno. I noticed some positive things happening in the last 5 days, but I need to sleep! And yes, I've been taking sleep aids also.

Is it ADHD or Aspergers?
Since then we have had him on various dosages of
Concerta
to assist him with his concentration especially at school. We have found that the medication does help with his concentration and does take the "edge" off of his explosive behaviour.

ADHD/Impulse Control Help
Have tried a bunch of meds and landed on a combo of Straterra and
Concerta
that work well for his ADHD. However his impulse control has been non existent lately and hes being really hurtful and disrespectful. I am picking him up from daycare and receiving multiple incident reports.

Struggling with work/life balance
I’ve only tried vyvanse and adderal so I’m wondering if it’s worth giving
concerta
or something of that variation a try. Or if I should just stop trying to figure it all out and accept what is. Any advise or just commiseration is appreciated.

discouraged :(
they say “it doesn’t make any sense” and think the fact that i’m on medication is ridiculous because i have anxiety. so i guess the fact that my
concerta
is making me feel sad (sometimes even before the “crashes” kick in??)

Concerta sleep issues
We are trying the “liquid
concerta
” now at 10ml per day, but when that wears off around 3:00 he becomes enraged and defiant for the next few hours through bedtime.

Introduction and looking for feedback
Simply knowing that I have ADHD helps me understand how my brain works, more so than I think the medication helps; though I will say that
Concerta
does help me to focus on my desk work.

Hi All, my son has been on
concerta
ER 18 mg and guanfacine 1mg for a few months now and we’ve seen some improvement in symptoms but he still struggles with emotional regulation.

15y ADHD Med Trial & Error
She was then switched to 27mg of
Concerta
. She took 1 dose and did not like how she felt on it. She said she couldn't feel, had no emotion, felt like a zombie, had a stomache ache and head ache. She said it was scary and she will not be taking the med again.

Generic Concerta
Is the generic
Concerta

Which meds helped emotional dysregulation?
He tried ritalin and
concerta
, but we didn't notice any improvement in any symptoms, and had a few undesirable side effects, so we went off. At the time, he really didn't want any medication, so we didn't continue the search. (We homeschool, so we're mostly able to work around the focus stuff.)
