1 week on the Concerta.... Probably the most productive week of my life, at work and home - The only problem is that I do have some chest discomfort which I've just had to see the GP about, I go for an ECG on Monday and then speak to the GP again on Wednesday - I will be devastated if I can't continue on the Concerta, apart from feeling 'wired', the ability to finally focus on everything is unbelievable, brain fog has evaporated It's been a stressful week though, best man at a wedding, finishing jobs on my house in time to hand over for the estate agent, work pressure, job interview, so unsure if this is stress related ? The only other thing I can think of that may have caused the issue is not checking the bottle labels, I've been taking 36mg as a starting dose instead of 18mg... Oh dear! Anyone else experienced chest discomfort/pain on Concerta ? Stuey

I had heart and circulation problems on Concerta as soon as i went up to 36mg. I got blue lips and blue fingers, too, along with a pushing feeling up in my diaphragm and pain down my right arm and shortness of breath. Was told to stop them immediately. I'm on Strattera now and doing ok with it. I think I prefer it. It's more subtle, and takes a while to work, about 10 days before i noticed any difference. Has worked for stress and to a degree, mood, but i'm still scatty and can't watch movies or remember things. The impulsivity thing is treated, but the scatteredness, not.
