Thanks sooo much for your post! Yesterday was rough, I've been on 80 mg just in the am for the past three days and as of yesterday I was sick of the nausea and tiredness I was getting every afternoon and was willing to give up. After reading your post I'm reminded that I need to hang in there a little longer.
I'm still on Concerta for five more days so it's hard to tell the impact in terms of ADD symptoms but I've waited too long for this drug to give up yet. As you said, we're definitely not known for our patience. I've always found it humorous that they give peopel who have trouble remembering a drug that lasts four hours and once it wears off they're supposed to remember to take another one! Now we have a great new med that takes up to two months for us to feel the impact! As my doctor keeps saying, keep your hat on (or at least in your hand). So your post is encouraging. I'll finish the week at 80 mg in just the am and if I'm still having side effects I'll ask my doc to try the 60/40 combo you're on and see how that works with side effects.
Well, I'm rambling (hmmmm meds not working ;-)) Thanks again for the post and the encouragement!
