"43 year old mom. I have had ADHD all of my life and was finally put on medicines yesterday. I thought I could cope and help myself without medicines before and I really liked who I was anyway - wasn&#039;t depressed or anything so why the need for a drug that could possibly change me. Well the inability to focus began to get much worse for me. I struggled through the day to day and could not wait to get to bed just because of that battle within me. Still loved myself just became increasingly unorganized and ineffective in areas because of the ADD. So- I started on 18 mg yesterday and almost immediately began to feel better. I can focus and RETAIN! Can&#039;t wait to attack my unorganized household and look forward to being able to concentrate effectively. Yay Concerta!"
