In reply to update 80 mg 1x day, posted by teacherkris on April 14, 2003, at 21:37:34
> Well, I've made the switch from 40 mg 2x a day to 80 mg in the am, still taking half dose of concerta (36 mg). So far I seem more tired than normal but that could be because I just moved (moving and ADD not a good combination!). I have noticed more appetite in the evenings but no noticeable change in the ADD symptoms good or bad. In two weeks I go off the Concerta totally and I'll also be back in school teaching so then we'll finally get to see how well it works. I'll keep you all updated.
I started at 40 mg. in the morning about 2 1/2 weeks ago; and am currently taking 80 mg. daily. I can see only slight improvement in ADD symptoms, but this is the first drug I have taken for this. I am soooooooo tired and starving, that I can barely stand it. I still wake up in the night sometimes with my stomach growling. I'm going to give it a full 30 days, but if this does not improve, I plan to ask for something else. I am overweight to begin with, so this starving feeling just can't go on much longer. I have already added a few extra pounds, even though I am trying to be very careful.
