Concerta update

Posted by Raisinb on October 8, 2012, at 20:27:19

It's been a few weeks and I can confidently say that Concerta is helping tremendously with my depression. My pdoc had a theory that I have comorbid ADHD, and because of this, I wasn't responding fully to bipolar meds. I don't know if it's that, or if the stimulant is just having a direct effect on my depression. Maybe both. The stimulant does have a dramatic effect on my ability to organize myself and complete tasks (I actually want to clean the house), and that has an effect on mood, too.
The Concerta also makes me want to exercise (I've been running about five miles a day) and I'm sure that's also having a positive result for mood.
Anyway, I'm finally having a positive experience and wanted to share the results. If anyone else is dealing with treatment resistant depression or bipolar II, the stimulant option really is worth trying.
