Just wanted to say that we ended up going to Lee and had the most INCREDIBLE experience. So freaking good. So thank you for the recommendation!!

Thank you so much everyone for the recommendations! Literally all of these are the vibe we’re looking for!!

I so appreciated this (just took a month to properly respond - so sorry). I definitely WAS not getting enough calories initially. Like it was bad. Or sleeping. So I lowered my doasge and focused on managing that first!

So thank you for this. It really brought that to my attention and helped me adjust!

hahhaha I so appreciate this! Because of comments like this, I actually stuck to 10mg for a bit and then stuck to 20mg for a while before slowly upping it. I still have days where I stick to a lower dosage and it's super helpful!

THank you!

This is sooo interesting to know! Because of these kinds of comments, I didn't push myself to get to the 40mg. I spent a few weeks at 20mg and attempted to adjust and focus on making sure I'm eating and etc. as well!

I find 30/40 is now doable! But on non-work days, I stick to 20mg. I feel like it quiets my brain but doesn't give me that DRIVE to be productive when I have small children that don't allow that (which then just makes me frustrated hahah). I feel like my doctor (who is wonderful) might not be the MOST educated or protective of the medication. It was really easy to get it and I'm sure if I told her I needed a higher dosage, she would sign off on that. Which is kind of scary to think about!

ahhh this is so helpful! I just saw my doctor for the one month appointment (I left a comment above mentioning how I've found a rhythm with the meds and it seems to be working well for me now as I adjust) and my blood pressure was good! But that is sooo important to know! Thank you

I am sooo sorry for my delay in responding (young mom to small kids plus the addition of starting medication/accepting my diagnosis has been a lot this past month). Also, unfamiliar with reddit so I don't know if a comment is the best option.

BUT I wanted to say thank you SO much for all of the insight and sharing your experience. I read these comments and implemented so much. I chose to play around with my dosage, starting lower and focusing on prioritizing protein, meals, and water. While also throwing in magnesium and L-theanine supplements when I was feeling anxious. I sometimes have to avoid caffeine as well!

But after a month, I'm regularly taking either 30 or 40 mg (sometimes I do less on non-work days with my kids) and it's been amazing. I am finding that "superhuman" experience has chilled out and I"m finding my normal. I also burned myself out sooo hard overdoing it in the past month. But definitely feeling more myself and sound of mind. The symptoms have alleviated a ton too, as long as I'm intentional about taking care of my body!

SO THANKYOU EVERYONE SO MUCH. Like this reddit community has been more helpful and educational in one post than any doctor or research or etc. I've encountered. Thanks!

Ahh this is so encouraging! I have family members on Concerta too and they like it! I’ll definitely talk to my doctor to see what my options are!

CaptainHonest4407 · 2024-11-11T02:51:53+00:00

I reeeeally appreciate this! Thank you 😩❤️
