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.

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?
