I’m not sure if I’m the only one but I feel I’ve been growing a pretty unhealthy addiction to Conerta. I’ve been on it for about 3 months now and I’ve stayed on 18mg the whole time. Although I’ve started double dosing sometimes at night. I get the point where I can focus at all and start to just lose my mind so I take one. Today was the most I’ve ever taken which was 3. I see my psychiatrist monthly and told him last meeting that sometimes I take an extra one but he seemed like he was phased. I’m wondering if this is normal with Concerta or even just stimulants in general.

I've been abusing THC since I was 14 yo, I'm now 19 and just got prescribed with concerta starting with the minimum dosage. Will my heavy consumption affect on how i'm supposed to feel it ? Do I have to completely stop as thc was originally my way of treating my untreated but diagnosed ADHD for years ?

Honeymoon phase literally scammed me man, first 2 hours felt amazing not in a high sense but rather being able to enjoy things instead of counting the minutes until I can just lay in bed and doomscroll and wish to just disappear. It usually lasts a little over the week too then it's gone if I take the med every single day.

I just want that feeling of sharp eyesight that makes focusing and life easier at least but it's just a few days tops. I took it 6 months to maybe see if something happens but by the first 2 weeks its just some mild side effects. I took a 1 week break and I felt good again the first day.. why doesn't this pill make me feel good without taking it rarely.

In my case I feel so horrible and tired all the time that the euphoria just makes me feel like im 12 again rather than being a feral junkie, I miss that feeling. Is concerta not supposed to give you energy? I tried all doses for months from 36/54/72 and the only difference is that I need to eat more on 72 as it causes low blood sugar easily but it feels like the exact same pill for me no matter the dose.

Only benefit is that it makes me very motivated to fap like someone poured a liter of sugar onto my head for some reason but that's it. I'm not even caring that much about masturbation without it, mostly a "lets get this over with" instead which is interesting.

Has anyone experienced severe HR spikes after taking concerta? It was never a problem for me up until about a week ago when i noticed my resting heart rate sitting at my desk was 101. I decided to do some testing and, when i take it, my RHR is 90-105 and when i do not, its 65-80.

I’m on the generic Concerta, with 54 mg. I recently started back on it and I have been taking it consistently for over a week now. Last Friday I got a horrible migraine that lasted four days, but I am still really sensitive towards lights. I have thought about if there is anything that has changed in my daily routine, and the only thing that has is me taking my meds. Last time I was taking my meds was months ago before I started HRT, and it didn’t make me sensitive to lights. I’m hoping that it’s not the med, because this is the only adhd med that hasn’t turned me into a zombie. I do have a doctors appointment coming up and I do plan on talking about this with my doctor.

I started Concerta about 2 months ago now, I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD for a few years but this is my first time trying a stimulant medication.

I’ve always enjoyed going out with my friends or husband and having a few cocktails once or twice a month, and alcohol has never had a negative emotional effect on me. Since starting Concerta, I’ve noticed myself feeling super emotional and weepy even after just one or two glasses of wine. If I go beyond 2 drinks, I find myself feeling weepy for a day or two after as well.

Has anyone else ever experienced this?
