ADHD
"I&#039;ve been taking Concerta for the past 14 years since it came out (24 now) and I don&#039;t plan on changing unless I&#039;m forced. I&#039;ve tried other medications and none work as well with as few side effects. Right now I take the 54mg. Sure I experience some side effects, but I&#039;ve learned to manage them over the years (force myself to eat etc). The treatment of ADD/ADHD is only effective through a multifaceted approach, medication AND counseling/therapy/behavior coaching. Without Concerta I would never have made it through school or had successful relationships. ADD makes life hard, but with the right combination of treatments it is more than manageable."
