Anybody out there feel anxious/guilty about EVERYTHING?
Also, I do take
Concerta
and I have been off it for a few days--I had tried a higher dose and didn't feel comfortable with it, so I stopped taking in and just got the new prescription yesterday. I'm sure that affected my mood/performance, but I do feel this way even when medicated.

Psychiatrist forced end of my therapy
The diagnosis changed my life and medication as well, currently on
Concerta
36 mg. Together with meds I have been having therapy for the last 2 years and it has really helped me like crazy together with medication. For me 2022 was the year where I started seeing hope in life.

Finally starting medication--what now?
My last year of highschool I was on
Concerta
xr (methylphenidate). It helped, but took a high dose to do so, which sometimes ended up too much. I asked for the short release for this so it could be more controllable and wouldn't ruin a day if it acted weird.

Guanfacine 2MG ER + Qelbree Onboarding + Zoloft 50mg
Qelbree,
Concerta
, Ritalin, & Focalin all in "Yellow" categories (some side effects). Straterra is in the "Red." (Adderall, Dexedrine, Vyvanse did not have enough info for determining any metabolizing issues)
Guanfacine 2mg ER -
NP suggested Guanfacine since stims were making anxiety worse.

College age son wants to try meds again...any experienced people with elite distance runners and medication. He's a Division 1 athlete.
We are going to try him on
Concerta
, a very low dose again with 10 mg of Celexa (which he has taken for 10 years). Anyone out there with experience with
Concerta
and running performance good or bad. Any other suggestions.

Concerta, Menopause and ADHD. Good times!
I turned 50 a few days ago and have been taking
Concerta
54 mg once a day. I don’t think this drug is doing much. My symptoms seem worse than they were. The only thing I can think of is I may be entering menopause. Has anyone experienced this? Is there a better medication out there? Thanks.

Anyone suffered from changes to anxiety levels on Xenidate XL (concerta)?
I’ve been going through tritation and found that 3x 18mg of xenidate XL tablets seemed to mange my symptoms without being too much. I’ve recently found that after trying a higher dose and dropping back down that I’m feeling more anxious with a higher blood pressure reading. I’ve been feeling more

Any insights on Guanfacine ?
My 15 years old sun has been taking
Concerta
18mg for a year but was told from another doctor that Guanfacine could be a good replacement since
Concerta
has been causing him aggression and mood swings lately. I'd love to hear any advice or insights on taking guanfacine. Thank you so much !

Medication for impulse and regulating emotions
We had my son revaluated and his pediatrician put him on
Concerta
even though we tried it years ago and said focalin seemed to work best for him. Not surprised but the
Concerta
did not work and just made him more sensitive than anything.

Just started meds- need something to help with remembering, moving faster, and completing tasks
She’s been on
Concerta
27mg for about a week (upped from 18) and I see no difference with being able to complete tasks or remember things. She says she can’t tell if meds are helping or not. She says she has “good days and bad days”.

Looking for ADHD Treatment Provider in Memphis TN
My GP prescribed
Concerta
, which worked miraculously for about three weeks and gave me a brief glimpse of how much better life could be, but it has not continued to do the trick even with increase dosages.

One month on Vyvanse - oh boy...
I wonder if it will go away, if
Concerta
(his next choice) will be better or worse, and if I will ever find something that helps me before I fail all my work commitments...

Zapping My Way Down On Effexor
But that being said, I forgot my
Concerta
today and the hyper focus went nuts with me but I made a lovely modification to my crossbow project. That and I've been in the clouds all day. Can't forget that when it's foremost in my perception of everything. And today the brain zapping hit hard.

Was your daughter’s ADD misdiagnosed as Depression?
A friend was describing similar symptoms her daughter had experienced and it turned out that she had ADD and once she was medicated (
Concerta
) everything turned around. Has anyone else on here had a similar experience?

Neucon 36mg
I’ve been taking Neucon 36mg which is the equivalent of
Concerta
36mg for the last 3 years. I take the drug for work productivity to improve concentration,control impulses and increase my confidence in the workplace.

ADHD Meds & Side Effects
My daughter has just started taking
Concerta
. It’s been maybe 5 days and the DR said to give it two weeks. But… since the first day I’ve noticed she is very irritable. Anything and everything can trigger crying or screaming.
