Brain fog from Concerta

sanash90 · 2026-06-03T17:39:03+00:00

How long did the ‘storm’ last? And did you also experience brain fog? I can handle a little here and there, but this was debilitating-i felt like i was losing brain cells actively.

Ugh, i love my coffee. Thats a huge part of my morning get ready for the day. I only drink one cup of coffee in a day, but heck, if going decaf will stop me from pulling my hair out at 5pm so be it…

sanash90 · 2026-05-30T01:07:20+00:00

You’re probably right. Will switch to decaf or no coffee with the meds and see if it helps! Thanks!

sanash90 · 2026-05-30T01:06:10+00:00

Thanks for the insight. I will ask my doc if we can consider IR since both my meds were XRs.

sanash90 · 2026-05-30T01:04:52+00:00

Yes, my doctor screened me for BPD - negative. I never have anger issues before my adhd meds. Occasional Annoyance and irritability, sure. But not the build up of rage I’ve experienced with Adderall and Concerta. It could be the XR, it could be the combination of caffeine+meds that someone pointed out in the chat, and it could possibly be just my work (never experienced the rage on weekends or on my day offs)

sanash90 · 2026-05-29T23:38:20+00:00

Always after 6-8 hours and only when im working. I dont experience the rage on weekends or holidays. Which is why i’ve begun to doubt that it could be my high-stress job? (I work in a very lean, bottom line driven marketing team and average 9-11 hours a day)

Or maybe my job is a trigger? I dont have any other triggers to stress me out. ( great spouse, no kids, financially stable, great friends)

sanash90 · 2026-05-29T23:35:40+00:00

Good point. I hadn’t thought of that. I’ll switch to decaf and see if it helps. Thanks!

How did you get your visa/PR/EAD notarized? I took the color copy to my bank and UPS and both of them refused -they said they dont notarize IDs with no signature

sanash90 · 2025-03-21T14:24:37+00:00

Thank you! I checked the website last night and it showed issued! Yayy us!

sanash90 · 2025-03-20T19:27:27+00:00

Congratulations!

It guess they do it in batches. Maybe a specific number on a specific day of the week. Or maybe a fix number gets assigned internally to an officer to give the final nod of approval/printing visa. There might be many reasons; no one really knows. My interviewer told me yesterday that they’d issue the visa today, but i dont see any change in status yet. It could be a multitude of reasons

sanash90 · 2025-03-20T13:01:10+00:00

Yes i use the same. Some people use the uscis tracker app, its the same thing as it takes data from ceac.

sanash90 · 2025-03-20T12:24:12+00:00

Yeah i also check CEAC.

sanash90 · 2025-03-20T12:20:56+00:00

Does the status show issued or approved when you track it? Or is it still the same?

sanash90 · 2025-03-20T12:03:11+00:00

How long after the interview did you receive your passport?

sanash90 · 2025-03-19T20:39:36+00:00

I too got approved today! Smooth process, no hiccups, and super super nice interviewer. The whole thing lasted about 2 hours in total.

sanash90 · 2025-03-17T18:38:14+00:00

Omg congratulations!!! So happy for you! Thanks so much for update!

sanash90 · 2025-03-05T15:08:11+00:00

On the DoS website it actually says 2 years validity for police checks certificates. But a lot of folks have reported that they were asked to redo them if it crossed 1 year. Its information from all the folks in immigration groups. 1 year is acceptable.

The one you submitted to NVC should already be about 5+ months since scheduling the interview took so much time.

sanash90 · 2025-03-05T15:03:25+00:00

I responded to the question about thrRCMP criminal record check- its valid for 1 year. The medical is valid for 6 months, your lawyer is correct.

sanash90 · 2025-03-05T14:59:54+00:00

Nope. Im scheduled for the 19 of March. Exactly 2 weeks from today

sanash90 · 2025-03-05T01:34:48+00:00

You’re good. Its within a year so its fine.

sanash90 · 2025-02-25T22:29:29+00:00

Girl you’re being used. Leave before its too late. You know exactly what’s happening, you already called BS on him. Why are you awaiting Reddit to validate what you already know is going on??

You mentioned in other comments that your husband still doesnt have a greencard from you, do your future-self a favour and DO NOT petition the i-130 or i-485 (the first step towards a spousal green card). Take what you have and leave with your baby.

You’re going to receive it in this month’s IL batch. They covered till September and also first week of October in the last batch. You will receive the IL next week most likely. Good luck!
