Concerta 36 mg | ADHD Information

I started taking Concerta 18mg, worked my way up to 36mg. At first I had trouble sleeping. Try taking it at AM. You will most likely get used to it like myself, I am now up to 54mg. You will become tolerant to some of the side effects, but the effectiveness will still be there. Just stick to it for a while and it should improve.

I'm a 28 y/o Male. I'm been on Concerta, 36 mg for three days. I'm kinda disappointed as I'm not showing allot of improvement. I take my does 8:30 am. During the day the effects are come and go. It's as if it works in 5 minute intervals and then an hour of nothing. Around 6:30 when I'm home, it seems to hit me big time. I'm unanable to sleep at night, but my apartment is very tidy.

Would I benefit from something short acting, where I can control the dosing? I would appreciate anyones expreience w/ this.

No two people are the same .. I take 2 at 7pm and 2 at 4pm .. it took a few weeks to get it to gel .. It might work if you take it when you go to sleep so it kicks in when you get up !! I hav found that if I forget to take at 4pm I go hyper and can not sleep !!! If you still dont get on with it there are others to try .. its a caes of finding the one for you . and thats the hard part .. My hubbie hates it when I or the kids change drugs !!!
