ADHD
"I&#039;ve been taking concerta for 3 years now and I&#039;m 18. I started out with 18mg and slowly went up to 54mg. My grades went from really low to average in weeks but the side effects are really crappy. I have troubles sleeping at night and I feel things that aren&#039;t there. I also have a big loss of appetite and have to force myself to eat sometimes. I have days where I get really depressed to the point that I don&#039;t want to get out of bed and do anything. I also feel really anxious and on edge and I start scratching/ picking at my skin which gave me scars all over my back. I thought about it and went off the pill and my grades suddenly dropped again. The pill really does help with focus and motivation but the side effects are really tough!!!"
