ADHD meds and eating
I'm on methylphenidate (
concerta
) for over a year now and I can't complain too much because it's the little help that I needed. The worst side effect is related to eating. I' m a slim person and for me it's more difficult to gain weight than losing it.

Adderall & Venlafaxine - drug merry-go-round
After 10 months I was switched to
Concerta
to see if addressing the ADHD might reduce the depression and anxiety by giving me a sense of control. Low-dose
Concerta
was fine, but addressed neither to any real extent.

Therapist Diagnosed at 35
My first week on
Concerta
was LIFE CHANGING. I’m still working through my grief with a late diagnosis, but it is absolutely informing my work with my clients.

Vyvanse or concerta? Med question
I was hoping to have my Vyvanse increased to 50mg, but instead she switched me to
Concerta
27mg. My instinct is telling me that
Concerta
is not the way to go. Something feels off with it.

Mother to 15YO Freshman boy
He took meds from 4th grade to 7th grade (
Concerta
). He has since refused to take meds because they exacerbate his feelings of anxiety and intrusive thoughts. I do wish he would take them, especially now that he is in high school.

Medication confusion
We've tried Methylphenidate, Metadate, Adderrall, Vyvanse,
Concerta
and the old patch. These were tried at different ages but most caused more anger, not enough sleep, losing weight and loss of almost all short term working memory.

strattera guanfacine - would you add a stimulant??
Concerta
worked for a while but - crash was terrible. We trialed all these for 9 months and finally took a break over summer before trying non-stimulants. Should we just stay on guanfacine and strattera? He is doing therapy once a week too for about 10 weeks which is going well! Thanks!! Amy

10yo - unmanagable
We also got my son onto the generic form of
Concerta
. The medication definately helps him to concentrate at school though we do find we need to up the dosage every couple of years. He is currently on 27mg.

ADHD medication and hair loss
I've already spoken to my titration team and they are supportive, but I'd like to know any personal experience with
Concerta
and its side effects. Thank you

Same Struggles
My 10 year old daughter was just diagnosed with ADHD, we have started her on
Concerta
. I’m not sure how much of a difference I see however she lashing out at me in the mornings before school. Is anyone else dealing with outbursts of moods??

Social issues in kids
We just started her on
concerta
. Hoping that it helps not just with her trouble focusing in school but also socially.. Can anyone offer insight into this? Maybe some success stories? Others who have been there. Feeling like a heartbroken mama right now. Thanks ❤️

3 weeks on Vyvanse and still worse mood than before taking it, is there still a possibility of improving?
Although my mood wasn't great before I feel more down with Vyvanse, I tried
Concerta
before, 2 weeks but it was even worse than with Vyvanse. I feel Vyvanse help me focus and be more still but I'm not sure if these side effects will go away.

Extremely rare reaction to new batches of Meds ..! What's wrong?
I even asked my doc to write me original branded
concerta
, and even it had the same exact issue, older batches worked, newer one did not worked at all !!! I mean all generics , newer batches are having same exact effect on me !! It's been 6 months and my life is completely messed up.

Recent diagnosis, looking to talk about it to someone who can relate
The medication isn't helping me focus, even after I switched from
concerta
to medikinet cr, I have a thesis to write and I feel like I'm going crazy wondering what is and isn't a result of ADHD in my life.

ADHD and Stunted Growth in Adolescent
Our 11 year old son was diagnosed with ADHD almost two years ago and began taking daily
concerta
, which has helped significantly. However, he was already on the smaller end for his age prior to taking the medication but has found it very difficult to get the calories he needs.
