No Meds Work? A “death sentence” diagnosis.
I’ve recently tried Wellbutrin,
Concerta
, and now Vyvanse. Frankly, I think that they might make it worse. I’m apathetic about everything. Life has no purpose.

life anxiety or medication anxiety
I changed to
Concerta
XL and it was immediately great and gave me focus and didn’t feel anxious. I tried 36mg, then 56 and tried 72mg for a week and then dropped back down. now on 56mg for a month. I’ve started to feel anxious and have had to take some time off work.

Looking for medication advice for ADHD-inattentive type and anxiety
In the past, I tried
Concerta
and Strattera and both made me feel really jittery, sick and dizzy. A nurse practitioner prescribed me Adderall recently but after reading about it some, I am afraid to take it. Any advice about this would be helpful.

Can ADHD Medication Stop Working?
We did multiple iterations of medication trial and error, and landed with
Concerta
(first 18mg, then 27mg, now 36mg), Celexa (20mg), and Hydroxyzine (2mg) for daytime, and Clonidine (.1mg) for sleep. We had good success with this combination for over a year.

Should we change medication?
We switched to
Concerta
as a longer lasting option, but it was terrible. He had rage outbursts every day. So, the doctor switched him back to Biphentin. We still struggle with some anger each day, the ability to stay calm in the face of minor challenges.

Confused about the meds
I was mayve 2 weeks on
Concerta
and had burning pains in my legs and had to stop. The dosage was low and made me very tired at first but then I felt like could perform things I wasn't able before like draw for hours. And it was great.

Fatigue from ADHD meds
I currently take 90mg of
Concerta
XL once per day (first thing in the morning) when I first started the medication (November 2021) it was great! My symptoms became much better, my sleep was fine, anxiety was fine.

Need someone Knowledgeable in adhd medications
He has been taking
concerta
for the last 3 years until about 2 months ago. It's good for him, but he will not grow and will not eat. Plus, it makes him have horrible constipation to the point of having to go to the hospital sometimes.

concerta
I got the starting dose, 18 mg . Not possible to dilute them, so should I take one more everyday already? I don't want to become crazy with anxiety. It doesn't exactly does nothing, it made me lose my car twice in parking lots and search for adresses on the wrong side of the street. It also makes

Has anyone taken the GeneSight test? What was your experience, was it helpful for your medication management?
I've been on 18mg of
Concerta
since January 2021, until the last couple of months. I started feeling more anxiety/hyper-ness/hypomanic. I started taking longer & longer breaks until I stopped the
Concerta
completely.

The tablet coating of
Concerta
dissolves within 1 to 2 hours and releases 22% of the total dose of MPH. The remaining 78% of the dose is osmotically controlled (osmotic-release oral system [OROS] technology) and released over 10 hours through a laser-drilled hole.

ADHD Symptom Diary
Hi people, I've recently been put on
Concerta
XL, and I'm looking to increase the dose. However, I also need to be able to monitor not only side effects but my day to day state of mind to give me a baseline to work from when I'm trying to establish if I am actually getting better or not.

The Fatigue
I’m on 36mg of
concerta
, lexapro 20mg and Wellbutrin 300. Does adhd get better? I just want my brain to be like “hey let’s go shopping for groceries, we can do it” I’m so tired of the inactivity, I am trying so hard. I am trying to cook crock pot meals so I can eat better at work and home.

Concerta XL titration
Is anybody else talking
concerta
XL as their meds for ADHD? I was diagnosed with combined type adhd with autistic tendencies , since starting titration I’ve found that my sensory issues and autistic traits have become more of an issue.
