concerta rebound headache, ouch! | ADHD Information

Share

today was day one on concerta 18 mgs and at first i had  this rush of anxiety but maybe psycholigical.

then i quieted down in my mind, i felt SMART!!!  i felt quick witted, i felt happy, then about 8-9 hours later i got  this awful headache and anxiousness inside me and i canot type right either, it is taking great effort to type without too many boo boos and i have gone back several times to fix mistakes./

is this rebound?  will it go away and leave me alone in a few days?  i've felt better on  this then the adderall x r 10 mgs simply because i did not get that rush rush rush feeling with concerta....but did not crash like this with adderall x r either..sowhat a toss  up  huh?

I started on cencerta three weeks ago (36mg) and had the same results.  Bad head ach for a couple of days. (Not all day long).  Also had some anxiousness inside me I thought I was going crazy.  Dr put up to 54mg and we'll see how this works.  I can sure focus at this dose.

hi hun

ive just been dignosed with adhd myself aswell as having 3 boys with it too, ive got 5 boys in total!

ive started 18mg of concerta today too and felt the same, im on this dose for 3 days then im going up to 36mg

i feel abit calmer now, even with kids fighting lol

i will let you know if ive got any of your symptoms

the dr said that the side effects shouldnt last long, i had funny vision, i couldnt see peoples faces that were across the road eekkkk

im ok now lol

Jusy got concerta upped to 72 mg, since a recent study suggested 72 mg is right doseage for adolesents (sp?) headaches a definite sideeffect if increase  of lg decrease in doseage...
