I don't know what is the right thing to do anymore!! i cant concentrate on anything anymore. the docs have upped my dosage to 54mg but i'm scared to take them, i already have palpitations with the 36mg which i told them. before i started taking this i smoked weed at night..and trust me it was only for sleep, never during the day. i feel the pills are killing me, i just dont feel me anymore, i get so fed up of telling the docs as well as my normal docs. you have said before that it will help but i feel it wont, i know my own body and what it will take. i am a very open person and what i say to 1 i say to all, so i dont see why they dont hear me. are they better than me? i doubt!! i just do as i am told to do because everyone tells me it's the best thing. i want to do the right thing for me but will hurt everyone else, my head is in such a mess. i'm struggling daily with my mind on these pills where as i wasn't before and yes all my spelling and punctuation would normally be perfect but no more just dont know what to do anymore.

Hi deanyates . . . I didn't get on with concerta . .and, yes, it made my typing worse . . truth is I didn't get much benefit from any Stimulant meds . . It's just the way it is . . . I really wanted meds to work for me and know a load of people who say they've found focus and calm and a lot of other positive things. . . and I'm really happy for them . . . Yeah . .so I'm diagnosed ADHD and meds don't work . .what next? It takes work on your part . .you could try different meds . . .you could try adapted CBT or coaching or occupational therapy . .but the most important thing is accepting your ADHD and asking for help . .and being kinder to yourself. . . I know we all pin our hopes on a magic pill, but it doesn't work for everyone. . . Don't carry on if you don't think it's for you . .you're an adult and know yourself Take care

Hi Dean I assume your top priority is keeping your marriage together? Perhaps you feel you've been given no choice. Swallow the awful tablets or watch your wife pack her bags? You don't have to keep taking Concerta just to show you're making an effort. You just have to be willing to appear objective, I suppose? There must be loads of different drugs they could fish out of the cupboard for you? One of them has got to work? Concerta gave me palpitations in my HEAD. I was whisked off that and onto the next drug on the list. Job done. Ultimately, you must do what feels right for you or you risk the tidal wave of resentment undoing all your hard work anyway. Hope this helps

Hi
I get it! I’m in the same quandary!!
On concerta I sigh loads, get very inward and critical of myself, get all serious and locked in on sh@t, not great for me.
Off it I’m a ditsy, disorganised, childish, fun loving, put my foot in it, creative, forgetful tw@t 🤪 but I don’t care really because my brain can’t dwell on it long enough for me to get concerned.
I take concerta for other people who have to be around me, coes they get a pack up each day and a mopped floor to walk their mucky shoes on! 👍
Only you can decide what to do...but take comfort in that other people get what you mean, your not alone x
