ArtGirl815 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Alright so I WAS taking 36 mg of Concerta at 7:00 am...feeling no relief of symptoms and getting so tired that i could nap on my desk at 11:30 am...i convinced myself it would be okay to take an 18mg at lunch to get thru the rest of the day....that was a mistake for ME. Because it made my sypmtoms WORSE...i was staring at clouds all day...from my office window. So this morning i thought MAYBE i should try 54mg and see...i popped 3 18mgs and its 2:00pm and im still good to go...NO daydreaming...it doesnt control ALL my symptoms like the constant foot tapping, or obsessively checking my cell phone for texts/emails....(that could just be cause im a girl) LOL....but my focus and comprehension are up...I did notice however that i get aggitated a little easier about things...but i am able to not lash out and i am able to think about what i say before i say it. Those angry outbursts and feelings to throw trantrums have NOT disappeared...but I can CONTROL it....avoid hurting someone's feelings and just walk away from the situation..my anxiety stills gets up when i get mad. I know this because i get really sweaty pits all of the sudden. Can anyone relate to this...or am i the only one soaking clothes with i get PISSED OFF???? LOL.

Velvet Elvis Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 You really shouldn't be messing with your dose without consulting the prescribing physician. You need to find a moderate dose and stick with it a while and see how it effects you over time because you will develop some tolerance and need to increase it again. Taking it twice daily or adding standard methylphenidate at the end of the day is not a bad idea but you need to work with your physician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
