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.

Canadian Exchange Student Inquiry on travelling with ADHD meds
I suffer from ADHD, so I take medication (
Concerta
) to function and actually be able to attend classes and enjoy school. However, I've received a lot of contradictory information about how to proceed in order to have access to my meds once I'll be in the US...

Ok another post- Anxiety and Depression
Now we are on day two of
concerta
. Yesterday seemed like maybe things were better on it but today she seems kind of agitated? So here's my questions: How long do you give them being on a medication before you decided it wasn't working?

Epileptics on stimulants?
I just got put on long-release
Concerta
, but it doesn't seem to be doing much so far. I'm on Lamictal for the seizures, which controls them pretty well.

ADHD meds that don’t have as much side effect
My 14 year old has tried both
Concerta
and Adderall. Her teachers have noticed a remarkable difference in focus when she takes her meds. However she has refused to take them because she said she feels weird when she’s on them-that she’s not herself.

ADHD Question
I was diagnosed with inattentive ADHD 3 months ago and was put on
concerta
. Throughout that time, I focused so hard my shortfalls as a person and mistakes I made throughout my life. I realized that I focus a lot on the negative and anxious thoughts.

Vyvanse 30mg not working?
I was put on 18mg of
concerta
, it did absolutely nothing but give me anxiety. I’ve now switched to 30mg of vyvanse, my side effects have been mixed; anger, anxiety, dry mouth, dry eyes. Some days I don’t feel it working at all, some days it works for maybe an hour or so.

Concerta
My 7yo son is about to start
Concerta
. He has only been on nonstimulants in the past, but that is not doing the trick any longer. Any experiences with this medication? TIA!

Concerta
18 XR middle of first grade at 6 YO. He was on the
concerta
18 until October of 2022 when they upped his dose to 27 XR due to some behavioral/focusing problems at school.

New Here, trying to find support
I'm in talk therapy, have been for the past 10+ years, been on meds (a whole host of 'em) for the same amount (maybe slightly less as I was a child of
concerta
and have a healthy side-eye for the pharmaceutical industry). But I don't know what support really looks like. I'm hoping to find that.

Experiences with Concerta
I started
Concerta
a little over a week ago. The first couple days it was amazing. I had so much energy and focus, I was literally going from one thing to another all day getting things done, So productive. Then it changed , now I am super tired, unmotivated and feel very blah.
