ADHD
"I&#039;m 21 and I&#039;ve been taking 72mg (two 36mg barrels) a day since I was about 17. Concerta changed my life. I was failing school and no matter how hard I tried, it didn&#039;t change anything. I became depressed, slept for 14+ hours a day, I gave up. Then I was prescribed and it changed my life. It keeps me focused, motivated, and energized. Though, the side effects are very real. I don&#039;t sleep much, which is why I usually don&#039;t take it on weekends to catch up on sleep. It kills my appetite, so I eat a big breakfast before I take it in the mornings. It does elevate my anxiety, and not saying it&#039;s something I suggest.. but I smoke cigarettes to help that. Oh, and I don&#039;t know if this is common or not.. But it keeps my digestive track regular!"
