Concerta- Is it having the right affect

carm, I am new to this medication thing to.  I just started Adderall XR 15 mg today.  I must say my experience so far has been very different from yours but, we are on different stimulants.  I would say the calm and relaxed feeling is good.  Are you also able to focus on things better, say projects at work or reading?  Usually stimulants don't make people tired unless they keep them from sleeping at night.  Although there are those people who seem to get the opposite effect than is intended from medicaitons.  Is this the case with you?  How many days have you taken this medication?  You might just have to wait awhile for your body to adjust. 

I hope someone who has experience with Concerta will respond. -Gettingagrip-

Okay, so I have only been taking the Concerta for 5 days. I do feel that I am more focused and calm. I just seem to be a little extra sleepy during the day and I have had absolutely no problem sleeping at night. Maybe, I do need more time and maybe being tired has nothing to do with the medication. Who knows? I guess I just expected to be a lot more awake. Thanks for your input..I totally appreciate it.
