ah, tis a fascinating subject, tisn't it? perhaps i will keep this thread going for years... ;)
i am taking 36 mg of Concerta for the first time today. Took 18 mg for about a week. I'm having some struggle with a mild depression, and pdoc wants to see if the Concerta can handle this. I'm a little skeptical, but then I do not want to add Welbutrin (his other thought) because it made me so irritable and just plain mean the last ime i tried it.
Concerta downsides - nausea, nausea, nausea. Headaches in the afternoon. Jumpiness. Desire to bawl (but I think this is the depression now).
Concerta benefits thus far - am awake more and can focus somewhat better.
Am still taking Depakote 1000 mg at night and 1000 mg in the morning.
