I was on Concerta for about 6 months. Dropped it 100% back in May. I think I'd rather deal with my adhd than use that medication. I was on 32mg and it was making me crazy

The good thing was that it kept me awake. I'm a sleepy head naturally

Slap your doctor, he did not mean you well. :francis:

Concerta is meant to make you feel shytty so that you don't abuse it. It's a terrible drug and nobody should do it.

Concerta is to Adderall what K2 is to weed. :hhh:

Get you Adderall immediate release :blessed:

Gotta tell the doctor you can't sleep on the extended.
Have a family member prescribed concerta and was interested in your posts or anyone else. Thanks

I have ADHD myself. I found a scientific article that validates the effectiveness of Adderall

this large study on Adderall found that 70% of patients get significant symptom relief, vs. 7% for the placebo. On average, patients saw a 42% decrease in their ADHD rating scores.

Have you also considered Nootropics? L-Theanine, Ashwagandha, and Green Tea are known to calm the mind from overstimulation

ADHD also affects our dopamine receptors. With ADHD, Our dopamine receptors are more dysfunctional, we need to supplement more

Attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder and reward deficiency syndrome

Cordyceps, Bromantane, and ALCAR, which increase Tyrosine hydroxylase, the rate limiting factor that converts Tyrosine (found in meats or you can supplement N-Acetyl-Tyrosine for enhanced bioavailability) into L-Dopa. Disclaimer: L-Dopa also interacts with serotonin, be sure to take a serotonin supplement as it affects mood and well-being.

I've tried a few, they're all shyt. Never had Adderall though.. I know, it's crazy, you'd think they'd give me that before the other shytty drugs.

Tried concerta didn't like it, Vyvanse made me rage/angry but it was decent, just can't deal with the rage. The last one I tried straight up was called methylphenidate I have no idea what the brand was, but that made me feel pretty depressed/moody, horny, all types of shyt.

None of those drugs seem sustainable over a long period of time. I'd only use them for school and maybe training period for a job then drop them shyts. Even when I was prescribed them, I'd use max 3 pills in a week. I can't stand them.

Overall things like exercise, meditation, therapy and changing environments so you're not overwhelmed/dealing with too many things is more sustainable. In the next 3 years I'm probably going to live in a more rural location, so my mind and life slows down. All the best to y'all, but these meds ain't it.

But I will say these meds are very good for making you think rationally/reasonably more than anything else. It's like my brain prioritizes important things in my life and gets them done asap. It's like a huge boost to the prefrontal cortex, the side effects just ain't worth it.

So folks who are prescribed ADHD stimulants:

How are yall getting by with the great Stimulant Shortage? Have yall had to change meds or anything?

I’ve had to switch to 2 different obscure ass medications (luckily insurances are prior authorizing these brand name/obscure meds cause everything is on backorder) and there’s one pharmacy worker at my pharmacy always hitting ADHDers with the :beli:
Luckily haven't dealt with that shyt :ahh:





But im paying out of pocket every month for brand :francis:

You tried them independently (I.e., Bacopa, Choline, Lion's Mane, Rhodiola Rosea, etc) or you tried pre stacks like:

MindLabPro
Qualia
Thesis
Alpha Brain
TruBrain
Genius Conscious
Dose by Mind Honey

And other ones like that? I've ran through so many over the years. Found some that work but also feel nothing on others.

Never had any addy but always wanted to see if it would be like nootropics or caffiene/theanine combo on steroids.
