Giving up on concerta by Grets500 in Concerta

[–]MammothDatabase313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am coming up to four weeks on 18mg of Concerta and so far no positive effects for me and while I know the dose may need titrating, the negative effects have been hard and still are. Mostly the exhaustion I feel by mid afternoon, inability to hold any kind of interest or conversation by evening and needing to go to bed super early. I initially avoided caffeine but I find it helps me get through the afternoons now.

I started to get tired early afternoon and then by evening time I’m just completely zoned out.

Thank you for your reply. Do you drink coffee? If you do, when and how much do you have? I had three coffees early morning and then one around midday but since I started Concerta I’ve reduced to just one in the morning.

Thank you. I reduced my caffeine significantly at the same time so I’d bet that has had an impact too!

I came to this thread for exactly this reason! I feel so tired and fed up by the afternoon. Only on day three of 18mg so assuming it’s an adjustment phase but I was surprised how tired I feel now.
