Hi everyone,
I was just diagnosed with ADHD last week and I've started taking concerta. Every day the same thing happens in steps
- I become thirsy
- Then hyper
-Then I'm nauseous
-Then I feel like I zone out and only focus on one thing
-Then I start having really bad panic attacks
Are these things common? I also have no desire to eat. Honestly, I can handle everything but the panic attacks, as I used to get them frequently, and I haven't had them in a while and have no desire for them.
Whats your doseage? I've hardly had any problems (54mg). I get a little hyper at 'Peak Hours' during the day, but nothing where I feel like Im 'Racing'. I also have no or little appetite other than that the things you mention I don't experience and I've been on Concerta for 2 months now. I started on 27mg and am now at 54, and I don't even feel like I'm kept awake. Perhaps you need a lower doseage? I would suggest that you seriously talk to the doc about these things..If I were experiencing what you are experiencing I'd discontinue the concerta, but talk with your doctor first. Concerta has been great for me.
