Sinus Infection | ADHD Information

I started on 36mg of Concerta a week ago and now have the worst sinus infection ever.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Is it common?  Any advice?Chris...Welcome to the Board!

Have you considered you may have 'hayfever' or allergies to the new blossoms, plants and trees this spring? I do know that some people develop allergies they may not have had as a child. ?? I've been on Concerta for 3 1/2 months and have had no problem with my sinuses, and I don't recall anyone else posting of this problem from Concerta.

However, do you take Trazadone to help you sleep? I took it only twice because on it my sinuses clogged up and I had difficulty swallowing. This is only a thought.

You may want to speak to your doctor about this. Hopefully you only have a cold. They say stimulant can weaken your immune system especially if you're also not eating well cus the meds have shrunken your appetite. I've never really heard of anyone with a problem.

Most likely it's just a coincidence and you would have gotten the wopper of a sinus infection even if you didn't start on the meds. Sounds like the timing is just conveniant but you should always call your doctor with anything strange. If it is an allergic reaction or something similar then you don't want to continue taking the meds. < =""> Thank you for your responses.  I was hoping it was just a coincidence that I got sick. 

Um, well, I actually got the same thing. My docter said that it was unrelated, but I've read of people having the same symptom.

I started the Concerta in December and throughout that month I was constantly blowing my nose and had a very thick yellow discharge. It was also very invasive. I also got a ear infection and subsequent eardrum perforation. It did go away after antibiodics. And if it aggravated my allergies, that was helped by medication as well.

 

Twat did you say? i c**t hear you i must have an ear inf**ktion

A good airpurifier can help rid this problem. Always take probiotics after antibiotics.Those meds destroy the good bacteria also.  Diary is bad for some with allergies worsen their respitory tract. Increase your citrus juices or take more C.
