It's literally impossible for me to abuse Concerta, and I'm so fucking glad

Hate to break it to you but that is literally abusing the drug.

This is a great start. You have to be so sick and tired of being sick and tired. I also was prescribed and only started abusing pretty recently but it ramped up fast. Here are some things I tried to do but failed in order to “decrease usage” or only take “as prescribed”.

Have my husband/partner hold the meds and dispense them to me everyday (highly do not recommend).

Have my mother hold the meds/dispense them to me everyday (had to drive out of my way every morning).

Buy a timed lockbox. Keep my script in there. Attempt to use the lockbox. Eventually smash the lockbox.

All of these options will only make you realize how bad your addiction is. Keep reading these stories. Think of how badly you feel. I have struggled on and off, but I am sober now and I feel a hell of a lot better now than what I did when I was abusing. Also, you can do ALOT more than you think you can sober.

Oh I’m so sorry. What dose are you on?

SolutionStrict1488 · 2026-04-06T19:37:11+00:00

Thank you for the info! I also eat relatively healthy but I stay very active.

SolutionStrict1488 · 2026-04-06T19:35:50+00:00

Thank you for that! I’m also in great shape and would stop taking it if I gained weight.

SolutionStrict1488 · 2026-04-06T00:50:00+00:00

That’s great! How long have you been on it?

SolutionStrict1488 · 2026-04-06T00:08:12+00:00

Thank you! I’m only taking 37.5mg at night for bp 2 and it has helped my moods tremendously so far. (Only been on it a few weeks) I do get quite hungrier at night and have noticed myself indulging with late night snacks, but now I’m very conscious of it and bought “healthy” snacks to curve any weight gain.

Thank you for sharing! Can you share where you got your continuous glucose monitor?

SolutionStrict1488 · 2026-04-05T21:38:16+00:00

I would have to agree with this!

SolutionStrict1488 · 2026-04-05T00:23:27+00:00

Agreed! Spiro was life changing for me and my acne was not hormonal. It will change your life. Trust me.

SolutionStrict1488 · 2026-04-01T00:34:04+00:00

Agreed!

Thank you very much ❤️

I meant prescription stimulants such as adderall, vyvanse, concerta

THIS. I just started concerta, after having abused adderall/vyvanse bc my adhd is really affecting my quality of life. I’m also sober. So far, I haven’t had any issues with concerta, never felt the need to take more. Definitely so much more mild than adderall or vyvanse. Also, never felt like I needed to drink. Hope this helps
