In reply to Re: First Day of Concerta; Any advice?, posted by HenryO on May 23, 2003, at 1:51:23
WHEW! I was beginning to wonder if anyone else was on Concerta. Today is my fourth day on it and so far it is better than anything else I've tried. (I was diagnosed with ADHD...am 28 yrs old.) I have been like a new person at work! Actually doing what my boss asks me to do the minute she asks me to do it, instead of putting it aside and letting it sit in a drawer until I either forget about it, or it gets lost! I started opening my mail instead of setting it aside (just like the stuff at work!!) Concerta is much better than the Strattera...Strattera was making me less motivated to do anything...I didn't wash clothes for the whole two weeks I was on it. (Terrible, I know!) Anyway, Thanks for your input. I haven't noticed any side effects yet...my coffee is tasting normal again, I have less of an appitite (YEAH!!) and am hoping it will help me lose a few pounds! All in all, I am happy...do you ever skip it on the weekends, or take a break from it to keep it working?? Thanks again, Brooke
