ADHDers, tell me about your experience on Concerta. This is the first stimulant I’m on and I’m just so unsure what I’m meant to be feeling.

works for some people but just watch out for anger/aggression as a side-effect esp if you are male bc i know somebody who had a bad reaction to starting it and punched a hole in a wall lol

I’ve been increasing it at the same time as a different medicine so I’m not certain it’s the Concerta but I’ve been very very nauseous and had a constant headache since my last increase. I see my psychiatrist in a week to discuss. In combination with pre-existing conditions and other meds I also get severe postural hypotension when it wears off at night so if you have a history of that it’s good to keep in mind. 1/2

Positive effects are I’m a bit less agitated and generally in a better mood. I don’t get the same exhaustion and brain fog from doing things like homework and reading and I no longer require a 3 hour nap every day. This is the only stimulant I’ve ever been on so I can’t compare it to others.
