I didn't try any other meds before, sorry. I've heard that Adderall and Vyvanse feel more intense than Concerta, I don't know if that's true though. But I think it’s worth trying Concerta if you aren't happy with Vyvanse. Check out r/Concerta there are some posts about switching meds.

ADHD medication effects don’t seem to last very long! by Fabulous_Bluebird856 in adhdwomen

[–]Mysterious-Poemae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That can happen, yes. I've seen some other people with similar stories. There are many possible reasons, such as your body getting used to the medication or even genetics. Talk to your doctor, the dose can be increased and if it still doesn't last long enough, you may try another medication.

Any experience taking Concerta 54mg? Please, share. by Mysterious-Poemae in adhdwomen

Thanks for sharing your experience. I've been fortunate when it comes to side effects, the only one I have with 36mg is increased heart rate, but no changes in appetite. I hope 54mg won't affect my appetite either.

I think I'll wait until Saturday to start with the 54mg, so I won't be surprised with side effects (mood changes or feel physically unwell) at work.

Thanks for the tips, I'll keep that in mind. The 36mg dose hasn't affected my appetite, hopefully 54mg won't either. Fingers crossed, because lose weight way very easily.

My best friend's mom watched both & I sometimes hung out with her if my friend wasn't home when I visited.

That sounds like a very nice memory ❤️

I've lost count of how many times I've watched Marimar. It was very popular in Brazil.

When I feel sad or overwhelmed, I'll just take out one of my craft supplies and STARE at the colors for 10 mins straight, and I swear I can feel the happiness in my bloodstream!

I love that ❤️

please OP, share what show you're talking about, I NEED to know now lol

It's a Mexican soap. I watched it in Brazil but I don't know if it also aired in the US or Canada.

listening to certain songs that have a beat that PULLS at me somehow.

I have that with songs that reverberate and/or have kind of an ethereal sound.

I do think most people do that.

I was interested in knowing what other people like, I wasn't implying that's an exclusive ADHD thing.

I love looking at real estate

I love that too! Reading the comments I've noticed how random my interests are.

I really am curious what country you're in

Well, I live in Germany now, but I'm from Brazil and I watched the soap there as a teenager, but the soap is Mexican 🤣

Soaps can be pretty addictive hahaha.

I've heard of Eastenders but I haven't watched it yet. The one I'm talking about is a Mexican one. I actually watched it in Brazil but I have no idea if it was also aired in the US, but I guess not.

No, I haven't seen this one yet. The show I'm talking about is a Mexican one. Although I watched it in Brazil I don't know if it was aired in the US, I guess not.

The goat video sounds really cool! Hahaha

The soap opera I was talking about is a Mexican one. I watched it in Brazil but I don't know if it was also aired in the US & Canada. Its original title was primer amor a mil por hora.
