I am 25, female. Started Concerta about a month ago and LOOOOVE it!! I never realized that I had ADD, it has been a big relief to figure it out. I've always done fairly well in school, but have always had a hard time concentrating. I could tell the improvement the very first day!! It was absolutely amazing to me! Started on 18mg for one week, increased to 36 for 3 weeks, and now I am on 54. Also, I have gone to the doctor several times for help with anxiety. It was anxiety more in social situations and I was constantly worried about things, which stressed me out. Concerta has helped me majorly! I was concerta when I read the Concerta info and it said not for people with a history of anxiety, but the anxiety was actually part of my ADD. I am so glad I found this drug!!

Has the concerta made you gain weight or made you lethargic? I'm on 36mg now and I haven't noticed too much yet. I did take concerta 18mg for about a week and a half and just increased my dose. Will it make me gain weight. I feel like I can't stop eating. Someone please reply.
