I have been taking Concerta for one year. This was to counteract the fatigue and sleepiness that I had been getting from taking Paxil for depression. Though Concertat was initially effective, it gradually became more of a detriment than help. It made me very irritable, unfocused, and moody. I have worked with my doctor to gradually phase concerta out from the 72m I was taking daily.
Is there anyway to reduce this while taking adderall, and what could it be caused by? I was then switched to 18mg Concerta ER and I still get the same side-effects but they are about 85% less severe and last alot shorter 1-2 days max, but doesnt even work for me. Maybe amphetamines are too "strong" for me?
I diagnosed with ADD and was prescribed Adderall 20mg XR when I was about 22 years old, and I didn't have a problem at all except slightly dry mouth.
Three weeks ago, the Psychiatrist added in Intuniv...OH MY GOSH...the Concerta and Intuniv were PERFECT....Great days at school and an amazing kid emerged...Then at the end of two weeks he developed a tic...This was so horrible...They were happening about 12 - 16 per minute. raised eyebrows, eyes rolling to back of the head, head tilt to the side and a humming sound. We called Psych. and Concerta was stopped. However a week later, the tics are still here...not as frequent...
I started taking 18 mg of Concerta once daily about 2 weeks ago. Oddly I have noticed two things:
1) I can no longer have my daily/morning coffee without severe nausea (even the pharmacist didn't have it as one of his warnings).
2) Despite the fact that it keeps me awake to the point that daytime napping is not possible I still feel exhausted most of the time which doesn't make much sense to me.
Has anyone had anything like either of these things happen while they were taking it?
In addition I am tapering off diazepam and down to 2mg in the morning and 1 at night. Everytime I try to get off the concerta I get terrible anxiety from it. I have it to a degree while on it also. I want off but my dr who takes 3 weeks to get into anyway, won’t switch me to a med I can taper off of. I know 3 weeks is a short time compared to what most of you have been through. But can someone please tell me how long my withdrawals are going to last??
Hello Dr., my 14 y.o. son began experiencing chest pain this past Mon. night and into Tues. a.m. Saw his doctor Tues., who sent him to ER for evaluation. EKG, chest x-ray, ultra sound, and blood work appeared normal. Diagnosed as possibly having viral infection (e.g. influenza) that "landed" near his heart. Had slight fever (100.2) off and on Tues. Normal temp. since then. Son continues to have chest pain, no matter what he does.
We tried putting my 9 year old son (who has ADHD) on Concerta about a month ago and after about 4 days, he started frequently rolling his eyes involuntarily up and to the right. We took him off immediately, but the symptoms have persisted. I'm not sure if it was caused by the Concerta, as he'd previously been on it for a month about a year ago and did not display the eye rolling. Does anyone know if there is a correlation, and if this is something that will stop?
I also took some Aleve at that time, as I have been having eye pain and headaches for the last two weeks and I was hoping to aleviate that pain. I was also feeling a little dizzy and naseaus around 10pm. The nausea has become a little more common than I'd like recently. I have also been awake all night, I'm wondering if the caffine kicked in again later, or it's just me. While perusing the boards, I stumbled upon the topic of Lyme Disease, which I tested positive for five years ago.
In fact, I got it out of my bag and popped it IN the psych ward. Anyway. after a scary night of chest pain, arm pain and more heart arrythmias, I threw out the pills. Told my psych doc NO MORE. I am done with drugging my poor heart and body like this. I am young and have a lot to do in life. I don't want to die before I have a chance to enjoy what could be MUCH MUCH happier times. REAL happiness!! I just pray I have not done too much cardiac damage. Peace!!!
I didn't know they could cause seizures. But if you think about it that could explain why it looks like I have tourettes. My eyes move constantly and I think that I concentrate just fine. I make vocal ticks and I twitch alot. It's really a sight to see what the drug Concerta has permanently done to me. I had a seizure due to them a while back and every since then I have twitched and vocally ticked.
First he complained of shortness of breath during one of his baseball games, it went away with rest. Then a week later he was riding his bike and he start having severe mid back pain, bad enough that he got off his bike and laid on the side of the road crying and screaming. Took him to the E.R. and all his labs, chest xrays and ekg's were ok. 2 days later he could not get out of bed due to severe chest pain (sternum area). He was in so much pain he didn't want to move.
A little weird to be on both V and Concerta at the same time. They both are long lasting - 8 to 10 hours. I can see being on V and perhaps adderall in the late after noon. Or concerta and ritalin in the late afternoon. Since the Concerta/ritalin are the same type of meds. Same thing for Vyvannse and Adderall.
Point being, why was the V not working for you? What symptoms did you have. I would think that the two could have been over dosing you. Did you ever try just V alone?
Ok...yes when i woke up the other morning my HR was 137 bpm; sometimes when i'm sitting, and i think i'm pretty relaxed, it'll go to 97-113 bpm. And lately, i've been feeling this one hard pound in my chest then it just palpitates. I don't get it. I've been trying to lay off the caffeine lately, and i have been on my same meds (Concerta 72 mg) for a year now, but i've never really noticed my HR as much as lately.
Hello all! I have had attention problems since icould remember. Im 24 now. But only in the year or so I've realized that it has actually caused a lot of problems study wise for me. I feel constantly bored or loos interest in the smallest tasks and tend not to sleep allot because it feels like I can't switch the conversations off in my head. I only really realized that my behavior was a bit odd, when my friend kept telling me that I walk around and interrupt allot of people in class.
Severe headache and pain in between my shoulder blades. I have had a full cardio workout and I am 44 in good health and have no other problems than Hashimotos which I am not yet taking meds for when this is all over. Can someone please help?? I am only on the second day of a smaller dose of concerta at 18 mg the previous one was 27. My head feels like it’s in a vice, my ears are ringing and I am having anxiety! Worse yet when I try and stop taking it, my anxiety gets much worse!
concerta!
I just started taking concerta 3 months ago and since then I have had a constant uti. Somedays it doesn't cause any pain and some days it does. I have been on 3 rounds of antibiotics during this time. I didn't make the connection between the two.
I just started taking Concerta (36 mg) and I immediately developed shingles. My doctor swears it's a coincidence, but after seeing your post I can't help but wonder. I had chicken pox as a child, but I've never had shingles before now. What happened in your case? I went to the doctor today and got neurontin and valtrex, but the doctor told me to keep taking the Concerta. I don't know what to do.
I am a 30 year old who started taking ritalin and concerta (36mg - 72mg) on a regular basis for about 6 months about a year and a half ago. As a consequence I experienced erectile dysfunction. I stopped taking the meds and I still have erectile dysfunction. I have been off the meds for over a year now and I have not recovered my erectile function. I can only get a semi if I try really hard. I don't get morning boners any more and I don't get proper hard ons when watching porn either.
