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!!

We just started my 6 year old son on this medication. Dr. recently up the dose to 36 mg.
I'm really having a hard time with this, not sure if this medication is going to hurt him later on in life. He's been complaining about not feeling good and doesn't know why?

My son has been on Concerta 54 for 2 years now. His grades have drastically increased and his attitude is great while he os on the meds. I do notice that he comes down from the meds in about 8 hours and his relapse is not fun. He becomes extremely emotional and violent. He will cry at the drop of a hat when things do not go his way. He also wants things to perfection. I also notices he picked up some bad ticks like popping his knuckles or clearing his throat. He is very negative when he comes down from the meds and has a hard time falling asleep.
