I took my first dose of Concerta today, because I ran out of Adderall and had to study for an exam next week (I have a severe case of ADD so no judging please.) Anyway, I took it around 2 pm today , and I was wondering if anyone has had problems with drinking and taking this medication. I will probably start around 10 since it is a friend's birthday party, so it will be approximately 8 hours after I took the medication. Please only reply if you have first hand experience with this medication.

So I just started taking melatonin for my insomnia on tuesday. I am always tired in the mornings, but used to never be. I take one pill 20 minutes before i go to sleep. I also take other medications for my ADD and other problems; stratera, concerta, and another. None of those pills seem to cause any problem but the melatonin is. First of all, it isnt helping at all, its really only helping me fall back to sleep faster. and go to bed quicker. Second about 4-6 hours after taking it i throw up no

people I no get high of dexies , I'm just curious what does it actually do to you, I have add an I used to take them and I never felt high, I know it's because I didn't take to many, but I never felt different , it said on the pill D5 what does that mean? Im on Ritalin at the moment , will that get people high? It says r40 what does that mean? Also what is concerta? I have been recommendid it, and my parents always lie about what I'm taking , so I don't through it away, please help me

i was recently put on adderall xr instead of concerta and have been getting a lot of muscle tension and cramps and stuff. im not working out or anything it just happens. part of it is because i get so focused on what im doing that i rarely change postures, but theres something else besides this. anyone else experience this?

So I know there are millions of people out there that have ADD or ADHD and are in school. ADD and ADHD runs in both sides of my family and, after spending several years trying many "natural remedies" and spending rediculous amounts of money on self help books, I am now on prescription drugs (which makes me sad because I really was hoping to be able to control it without drugs) Concerta. My most pressing issue is school. I know I have to study but its difficult...if anyone who is reading thi

In august, my 5yo son started taking concerta for his adhd. He started at 18mg, all was well. Maybe 3 months ago, he went up to 36mg. This past week, I've noticed he has a rash on is face. Not so much a rash, more like little fine bumps covering his face and half his neck. They almost look like heat bumps or hives. These are the same bumps that appear when he is given Motrin. I no longer give him Motrin because the bumps would always come. Could the bumps be from the concerta? He has been on i

I've been diagnosed with ADD (attention defecit disorder for 5 months now. I'm a sophmore in high school. My grades last year sucked so much i almost failed out of my freshman year. This year I'm doing better with low B's, but I'm not even trying and I'm not reaching my full capacity. I take medecine (Concerta) with the highest dose thats allowed for my weight but I still can't sit for a half an hour TV show. It makes a HUGELY significant difference, but I'm just still so trapped in my own dis

I have ADHD, and I've been on pretty much everything, I'm currently on concerta. Also I don't want to know which one is the best to get you high...I want to know the best one to manage my ADHD symptoms.

Please don't lecture about drug abuse I only take them around four times a year. I have a huge test and I need to study for it so in your opinion which is better 36mg concerta or 30mg adderall xr? Also should I chew up the concerta? Thanks.

I took 54 mg of concerta about an hour ago, what will happen if I take a 20 mg amphet. Salt now?

I took 54 mg of concerta about 20 minutes ago, what will happen if I take a 20 mg amphet. Salt now?

My almost-8 year old daughter is rail thin and I am really worried that she is becoming malnourished. She eats what she is given, but because she is so tiny, she eats small amounts. She is about 55 inches tall and about 48 pounds. The doctor had her on Concerta 18mg for ADHD, but because that has appetite suppressing effects, I have quit giving it to her and have dealt with her spastic behavior (which is not nearly as bad as it used to be). I have tried to give her Ensure, Boost, Pedialyte sha

My friend gave me some for schoolt and I just remembered i have a routine blood test tommorw. If they just check for high blood pressure/ normal things would concerta show up?

I want to put on more weight because I get pushed around a lot. I'm 17 and under 100lbs... Here is my problem. I have a super fast metabolism so the food I DO eat doesn't do me any good. The other problem is that most days I take Concerta for my ADHD. Unfortunately, one of the side effects is Acute Anorexia. Basically, I don't have an appetite. I rarely eat breakfast, never eat lunch at school, eat snacks at home, then dinner, followed by more snacking. For those of you saying eat at school, i

Hey I'm 14 and have pretty mild ADHD. I HAVE THE CONCENTRATION TYPE!!! NOT THE HYPER TYPE!!! Ok so I've been taking Concerta since August (when school started) and heres how it goes when I'm on my Concerta. First Period, Social Studies- Tired, Cant concentrate, just kind of sit slump in my chair and chill out. Its also like I'm just waking up. Second Period- Algebra 1- I suck nuts at algebra :( I'm so bad at it, i don't get it at all no matter what. Third Period- Science- Its alright, i do

i was just put on concerta for my ADHD but i have side effects like headaches dry mouth and drowsiness and i just dont feel good at all. Will these side effects ever go away?

I normally take a 27 mg pill in the mornings to focus at school. I have an exam coming up tomorrow and really need to be able to focus on that day, and pay close attention when I study beforehand. so I thought I'd take two, equalling 54 mg. I weigh 135 pounds and am 5'6 if that helps?

I have ADHD and I have switched around on medications a lot. I want to just stick with one medication but it's hard because I also have problems with anxiety. I first started taking concerta and it worked really well (my grades improved and my teachers noticed the difference). However, I felt that I needed to increase the dose... and each time upped the dose, the more I anxious I became. I know that it can have a side-effect of making you feel anxious/depressed. I eventually had to stop the co

I took pulse and my heart rate is 92. I have not been exercising, but I am on ADD medication Concerta I don't know if this is whats causing it, but I have been able to feel my heart pounding all day and last night when I wasn't on the medication. Is this bad? How can I make it so I can't feel it pounding anymore?

I take prozac 40 mg & concerta 36 mg & I just recently go those doses raised up & ever since I started taking them at those amounts I have noticed I lock my jaw a lot & I don't really even notice it, until my mouth/gums/teeth start to hurt. What is causing my lock jaw? The medications or something else?

so here is my problem. i am dead serous so please answer me for real and not just to annoy me. ever sins june 2011 i have had a problem urinating. i can stand next to a toilet for 15 minuets without peeing. I do try to, i feel it on the edge but it wont go out. i went to doctors and they said its all in my head. i still have one last test to try before i give up on finding the problem. this isn't a joke. i suffer bad because of it. imagine this: you drank allot of water and you really need t

I would like to have people answer this who actually HAVE ADD. Also, what are the downsides? I have ADD, and I take Concerta 36 mgs. Thanks!!!

So lately when i get home from school i don't feel like doing anything. Stuff i usually like to do i don't want to do. On the weekends though when i don't take it i feel fine. Is this a side effect? i take 36 MG a day will taking a smaller amount help?

hey everyone, i'm seeing my psychiatric tomorrow, and i wanna ask you guys some questions before i see her, i made my own researches but i could use ur help :) i have been on Ritalin 30 mg LA 4 for four months and sometimes i take one or two doses of the normal " NOT long active" Ritalin 10 mg when i have a lot of homework after school or something. i do believe that Ritalin IS causing me anxiety, and maybe it's been worsening my depression, However, it DOES help focus specially at lecture

I am currently 19, and I have been diagnosed with ADHD for about 18 years now, I had a lot of issues in my early years, although my life is now sorted I am unfortunately one of the low percentages expected to have ADHD for my whole life. I don't mind at all really, I feel as equal as any other human being, I don't want special treatment and I don't want to be treated like a second class citizen. My main question is about medication, my common medication is 10mg Ritalin but i feel this is sma

For a twelve year old I have alot of problems with ADHD,my parents,I ran away,I have sucicidal thoughts,I cut myself,first crush,I've been taking zoloft and concerta but it's just not helping enough....Is it right to check into a hospital because I think of this stuff regularly?

1 out of 10 kids in america take the mind altering drug ritalin. Ritalin is a derivative of cocaine. Some numbers for you: in 1993 UK doctors wrote 3,500 prescriptions for ritalin; by 1996 it was 26,500; in 2006(not including private medicine) it was 250,000 and in 2007 it was 461,000(gee I wonder if dr's. are influenced by pharmacutical companies) this is according to the UK national health services. There are a number of copy cat drugs as well being forced on our children, these include: add

I started taking concerta my ADHD medicine and I've had the worst heat flashes today. My ears are burning hot and everything else. Plus I haven't ate at all cause it makes me not hungry and had the worst headache. I've drank alOt of water. Is all this normal?

I have ADHD and I've been medicated since I was 5, I take one 54 mg tablet of Concerta every morning. I am also a smoker, but its not a problem until I smoke off my medication. If I'm on my medicine, smoking just gives me a tiny nicotine rush and I'm 100% fine to do anything. If I'm off it, I quickly feel dizzy, my body gets heavy and tired, but laying down doesn't help. Sometimes if I forget I haven't taken my pills and light up a cigarette on the road, I'll only get one or two puffs in befor

Hi I was taking concerta for a couple months with no luck. I didnt feel any different at all, so today, my doctor switched me to Vyvanse. Tomorrow I will b taking it for the first time.. I was just wondering what the difference between the two is--- - as in which is stronger, and how they worn differently. Thanks to everyone

First of all, I am a healthy student, 22 yrs old, female. I took a Celexa 20mg this past Saturday (2 days ago) it was the very 1st dose and I had increased HR, >120, dizziness, anxiety, SOB, and I started crying for no reason. The rest of the day I felt bad and had nausea, especially after I ate. That is the only medication I took Saturday. Sunday I started a new prescription for Concerta 18mg. I also took an antibiotic and my birth control (Beyaz). When I was in the shower my HR skyrocketed,

Im a22 yr old male i suffered my first episode of depression when i was 19 when an attempted emmigration went horribly wrong and since then i just havent been able to control my mind. Iv had another 2 episodes of depression since and have been on various anti depressants atm iv been off all meds for about 2 months but my mind still seems to race uncontrollably atm im very happy and my lifes stable but my mind is always thinking and active and i cant relax it. its really miserableis there anyth

I feel like I don't exist to anyone in this world. I am a High School student and I am way too young to feel this way. Sometimes I feel like my depression comes from my Concerta medication since I have ADD. But, I don't feel like anyone cares about me at all anymore. I'm sure my parents do but that just doesn't seem like enough to live by. No friends,constant rejection by my crush, and low grades. Its just so hard to believe that something good will happen later you know?

I know many other people have asked this question but none of the circumstances were exactly the same as mine. I am taking the mini-pill (no estrogen) and I take it within the minute every day, and I have never missed a pill. I just took the first pill of my second pack ever today. Last saturday morning, my boyfriend and I had sex and the condom broke. I'm really good about taking my pills on time (like I said, within a minute every day) but that afternoon after sex I took my pill about an ho

My parents have been divorced since i was 8, and they can never get along. My dad lives in another state and i never see him. Im so unmotivated to do anything, even feed my dog. I take concerta for adhd and i realized that i cant join the airforce because of that.. I dont understand...Literally a year ago i was doing p90x and working out constantly. I was happier. Now working out seems like a drag..and i seem to be sleeping more (like right after school). I have alot of friends but i always

So I am 18 and have ADD. I was put on concerta first. It doesn't work for me. So my Dr. suggested adderall. He is a smart guy and I trust him. Does adderall work well? And will it give me health problems? Could I work out while on adderall? I'm not getting it so I can have motivation to work out. It's just that I work out regularly and I want to know if working out while on this drug is bad for me. And nobody give me an answer like "Ask your doctor." cause I would, but he is out of town for no

i'm 5"6 and usually weigh around 120lbs. i just started taking concerta a few days ago for ADD and i've already lost about 5lbs, and have completely lost my appetite. I'm already a good size, how can i keep myself from losing any more weight? is there something else i could take along with it to maintain an appetite?

I recently turned 15 (December 2011), and I have yet to get my period. It was kind of a good thing for a while, considering I didn't have to deal with it, but it is beginning to become a concern. I am on several medications; levothyroxine for a thyroid deficiency, citalopram (Celexa) to combat my anxiety, and methylphenidate (Concerta) to suppress my Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). I have 34B size breasts and I have underarm as well as pubic hair. I have had a history with alopecia areata an

I am currently a junior in high school and I take Concerta (and sometimes ritalin) for ADD. Before i started taking my medication I would lose everything (and i mean everything) and i would constantly forget school assignments and I was a B and C student. Once I started taking my medication in 9th grade it changed everything. I stopped forgetting so much, I felt less stressed and my grades went from B's and C's to All A's and I have kept a 4.0 gpa all through high school. One problem though. M

I'm currently trying to join the air force, however when I tried to join the Navy I was rejected for reasons not made entirely clear to me. I used to have mild asthma as a kid, but I can exercise without difficulty now. I also used to take Concerta but never for an extended time and only for a few years. I got a 98 on the ASVAB and made a decent C+ average in high school. The Navy never even gave me a physical they just made me fill out some little form about it. Now, to get to the point, I t

I am a teenage girl (15 years of age), and I've been feeling really depressed lately and sad all the time (like the past month) could it be my medications? Please only answer if you know what you're talking about. (Doctor, etc.)

Specifically, 18mg of Concerta.

(I asked this before and got ONE answer, which only focused on one part of my question and not all of it.) I've been really paranoid with life and just thinking a lot. Whenever I'm at school and someone looks at me, I instantly assume they're talking about me. I also have delusional thoughts about life and how the earth got here. I get so caught up in it, that I daze out and I feel all numb. Sometimes I see things, but not usually. I also believe that we're living in a dream and we're hooked

Okay, so a friend of mine had shoulder surgery and missed two weeks of school during recovery, this just so happened to be right before finals. Stressing over how he will be able to study for the 6finals aswell as makeup the work missed, my friends friend gave him two 54mg concerta and told him to take them to help study. My friend couldnt sleep whilst on it and due to lack of sleep was acting "wierd" according to his parents. My friends parents have been known to give him home drug tests. Wil

I also have delusional thoughts about life and how the earth got here. I get so caught up in it, that I daze out and I feel all numb. Sometimes I see things, but not usually.

Hello. I'm a junior in high school, and having a lot of difficulty with this year. My problem is that I can't concentrate on classes or study work, and I'm never motivated to study or do work (regardless of distractions). I also procrastinate a lot and I'm very indecisive. Sometimes I feel down, but I never really think about harming myself. In previous years I was able to do fine without putting any real effort out, running about a 3.8 GPA with 3 AP classes, but this year is a different story

The medicine "Concerta" taken in small doses works wonders for an ADD patient. However, this patient moved and has run out of medicine. They have no money or knowledge of a local doctor where they now live. After repeatedly arguing about pot smoking, and major upheavals of promises to not smoke it, they seem drawn to it like a moth to fire. They KNOW the consequences will get them in major trouble at home, but they continue to secretly use it. Does it give some relief from ADD fidgets???? Shou

Ok well I took a concerta about 20 hours ago, it was only 27 mg.. and about 4 hours after I took it I've been feeling really weird? My heart is racing I feel nauses sometimes and I also feel disoriented I don't really know how to explain. I'm thinking it could be a stroke but I have no headache, I don't have blur vision though my vision does seem little off and I feel like I may have minor speech problems but not anymore.. I had a similar attack 3 days ago but I didn't take a concerta or anyth
