Hello guys!! I’ve been trying to take breaks from Concerta on weekends, but every time the weekend comes around, I end up telling myself I’ll try again next weekend.
I finally skipped it last Saturday, but I had zero motivation to do anyth…
At my last appointment, the doctor prescribed Ritalin 10mg after lunch, alongside my morning Concerta 36mg. I felt that Ritalin 10mg is too strong, it made me overly stimulated, like when I tried Concerta 18mg as an afternoon booster, wheth…
I’ve been taking 36 mg of Concerta for a month now. My concentration, ability to get started and emotional regulation have improved, but the stream of thoughts hasn’t gone away. I’ve heard that people say, after taking medication, that it b…

I started 30mg yesterday and so far my experience is really positive. No bad side affects and I've got a titration appointment in a few weeks time to increase to 50mg. How do you know if you need to increase? Is it better to try 50mg?

Looking for advice or experiences. I got prescribed 27mg of Concerta and it's actually been working great, my focus is better, I'm regulating emotionally better, and I just feel more functional overall. No issues so far. When do you know it…
