Common Questions and Answers about Can i take concerta and zoloft

concerta

Avatar n tn I googled strattera and zoloft and most of what i found says that it is ok to take them together. (you should also do the same, so you can see what I read). Not sure where you read about the chocolate, but that would be news to me. She really shouldn't be consuming enough tea or coffee at her age to make any difference. But that is something to ask your doctor. You can google concerta and strattera and see the comparisons. There is a difference.

1575110 tn?1334664635 Hello, I also have adult ADD and I have tried both Concerta and Vyvanse. My doctor wanted me to try Concerta for a few weeks and I didn't like it at all. It didn't agree with me. It made it feel depressed and NOT motivated to do everyday things. I was on a 36 mg dose and when I went back to my doctor I told him I hated it. He mentioned that there is a new medication called Vyvanse and asked if I would like to try it. With nothing to lose, I said yes. I do like Vyvanse.
Avatar n tn He is 10 and on Concerta 54 mg (for last almost 3 years) and Zoloft 100 mg and Intuniv 2 mg and recently Risperdal 0.25 mg every am and 0.5 mg q pm. The neurologist wanted to add another med Abilify on board as he was still having some outburst behavior. I find this troubling that he wants my child on 5 psychoactive meds. we sought a second opinion from a psychiatrist that our son's therapist recommended.

14987738 tn?1437742035 2lbs and my psychiatrispsychiatrists nurse said if I lose 5 more pounds my body will slowly shutdown, I rarely eat, but when I do I get excruciating stomach pain, and I always feel like I need to puke, even when I don't eat I still have the pain, my stomach constantly burns and aches but I pushed through the pain of eating so maybe the pain would stop but no it gotten worse, I heard vyvanse can shrink your stomach is that true?
Avatar f tn I drink water, eat bananas, and I eat cheese and nothing is working. I am on concerta and zoloft but I have been on that since late 2010. I just want the muscle spasms to stop. They don't hurt their just annoying. I just want it too stop. They make me really depressed and they keep me awake at night.
Avatar f tn Hi folks, I took Concerta for 2 weeks and gave it up because of GI issues and a lot of facial twitching in addition to still having a lot of fatigue. I stopped taking it almost a week ago but I still have a remaining eye twitch that is driving me nuts. Now I'm thinking the current twitch is likely unrelated to Concerta and may be MS related. If so, it is a new symptom for me and like most MS symptoms, I need relief. Has anyone had any success getting rid of the twitches?
Avatar f tn i also take zoloft 50mg i have been on it for 12 years now, i took my self off of that about 8 years ago and i started haveing panic attacks so very bad i had to go back on and dont want to go back off. but my panic attacks are also heratitary (i cant spell lol) my mom, grandma, greatgrandma, great aunt have had them or have them. I of couse thought no one could have had or have them as bad as i was when i first started having them, they were horrible!!!
Avatar n tn She is now on 18mg of Concerta and 10mg of Aderall. What can we expect from this increase and is this combination to high of a doseafge for a 70 puond 9 yr. old.
1756969 tn?1332437163 hi i am on zoloft the max dose of 200 mg and over the last 2 months i thought i was suffering from general fatigue from not sleeping well. i am tired of this feeling, i am more depressed than ever and i am just wondering if its all in my head or if my body has become tolerant to the meds and has officially stopped working? i am also wondering if anyone knows how i can test my levels of my norepinephrine and serotonin levels to see where i am at? thanks everyone and i love this site.
Avatar n tn Thanks guys for all the input. I actually decided to go ahead and take the concerta, and it seems to have cleared up all my problems. 30 minutes after talking all my anxiety and depersonalization went away. Also for the first time in my life i felt like i actually enjoyed doing simple things and getting every day satisfaction out of it. Its my 3rd day that i've taken concerta and i've only had 1 problem which isnt really that bad and that was headaches.
969557 tn?1314370614 My son was on concerta and adderall and they both can cause seizures. I would ask doctor to you for an egg and make sure you are not having seizures.Witch is a side effect to concerta and can not be reversed .They can only give you medicine to try and control the seizures. I wish we had never put my son on these medicines.
Avatar n tn My son took Concerta for several years and I noticed a change in his attitude. He would become so aggresive that he would actually hit myself. The doctor was upset when I told him I was not going to allow my son to take that medication any more. Now we are having problems with his attitude towards his school work. Good luck to you.
Avatar n tn They put him on concerta and zoloft. When he was put on the Zoloft, I told the psychiatrist that I did not like this idea and that I was scared of what could go wrong with the med. She explained that this would help him and he would be fine. After 1 month of taking Zoloft, he started hitting anyone that tried to discipline him. He also got tics from this which resulted in putting things in his ear, throwing things, and hearing things in his head. He never could sleep either.
Avatar m tn The dose says to take 2 36mg tablets in the morning followed by 1 24Mg tablet then take 1 10mg tablet after school if needed and I most of the time need it
Avatar f tn Can I take 40mg or over if Lexapro? Was on 40mg. One Dr put me back to 30mg but not working so started on Zoloft 75mg. Now weight can and I’m an emotional wreck. What. Anni do?

Avatar f tn which is the best med for adhd and odd together, zoloft and concerta or straterra and is their something organic that can work?
Avatar m tn I have not been on an ADHD med in years, because they gave me insomnia. I have been on both stimulate (concerta, adderall) and non-stimulant (strattarra) drugs. I definitely feel that concerta worked very well for me. I have been on several psychotropic medications and I hated the side effects of many of them. For depression I have been on: paxil, Zoloft, amitriptiline, and webutrin.
Avatar n tn Thank you susieq87 and samm284 for the encouragement and suggestions. It is much appreciated. In regards to the questioned that was asked to me about germs, it is definitely more of a feeling than a rational, or evidence based, belief.
Avatar m tn I stopped taking it for a while, and about a month ago, went back on the concerta. I take 36mg of extended release in the mornings when I have class or homework to do, and it does help me focus. However, since going back on it, I've noticed that I sometimes can't grasp words. Like I know what I'm talking about/trying to say, but I can't place a word with it. I know this is something that everyone gets, but it's happening with very high frequency when I'm on the concerta.
Avatar f tn I am 23 year old, recently diagnosed with adhd, and i am taking 18mg of Concerta. Lately, in the evenings, when i am reading,or focusing on computer screens, my eyes feel like they are vibrating, and my vision begins to shake. I am making an appointment with my doctor. But it might take time to get in. What is happening?
