My 6 year old daughter Started taking Concerta about 3 months ago. Some things I've noticed are, loss of appetite and loss of weight.
She has had very noticeable academic improvement at school. She is concentrating better. At home I l see how she can go through mood swings and emotional episodes. She snaps all of the sudden and cries if things don't go as she expects. I'm not sure why this is happening. She is currently on the 36 mg. I really don't like having her on this or any other medication. It's very frustrating trying to decide what is best for your child.
She is also taking Singulair for her asthma and allergy symptoms. I was reading the reviews Singulair medication and they are scary! I don't know if her emotional episodes have to do anything with singulair or concerta med side effects. For now I'm definitely taking her off Singulair and see what happens.

I have has the Mirena for 3 months. The first month I bled and cramped everday for the entire month. I workout at least 4 times a week whether it's at home or the gym but for this last month I have gained at least 7 pounds. I have also noticed that my hair sheds more often. I also get acne on my chest and chin area.

Hi to all and in reply to the guest poster who asked how long it takes the cycle to get back to normal. Well my story is that i have been off it now for 8 months and still not having a regular cycle. my cycle is now 24 days instead of 28. Am in the process of having my hormone levels checked and so far everything looks good. I was on yasmin for 4 years though. So it had plenty of time to mess up my system. for the first few weeks after stopping yasmin i was all over the place as regards my cycle. Never knew when i was due because there was no pattern. Now it seems to be settling down. But don`t worry because it will settle down. It just takes some time for the damage to be put right. Take it easy and try to relax. At least you are off it now before too much damage has been done. I wish you and everyone else here the best of luck.

I just started my second pack of Femcon FE a couple days ago. I switched over from Yaz because my GYN said underweight girls need higher dosage pills because they lack estrogen producing pills. The yaz made me incredibly depressed and i started getting panic attacks so i decided to try it out. So far i have not had mood swings or panic attacks. YAY!! And i have been quite horny ^_^. Unfortunately i think i am starting to break-out. I have always had acne problems but when i first switched to Femcon FE my really large blemishes (cystic acne?) disappeared in a couple of days. Now i am getting a bunch of little tiny red bumps which i have never had before. Like i said it is my second month on femcon so i am not sure if that is what is causing it but i am going to keep an eye on it because i was given birth control to clear up acne, not make it worse. Also, i just washed my face with the same cleanser i always do and it is burning now...odd. Hopefully this clears up because i am definitely enjoying Femcon more than my previous pill.
