> I must have tried every herbal possibility I could think of for months on end. rhodiola, tyrosine,acetyl l car. etc. I just seem to get too jittery?? I took my brothers 18mg concerta once and felt like a light bulb was switched on that day??

I feel this is a pretty strong sign that this medication could do something for you. You took it. It worked. However, stimulants are notorious for never working as well as they did that first day. Just FYI--now, you CAN increase the dose to compensate, but I'd guess the compensation will be only partial. Concerta can also be dependence forming, but....well, that depends on who you are--some people are more addictive and others. In short, I'm trying to say that there are risks, and it may not work as well as that first magic dose (and that there's now solid evidence that, yes, stimulants genuinely aren't good for your heart, though the risk is probably not great, especially if the dose is kept low. Do you have heart conditions in your family? If not, great).

It's a good idea to try, I just want to make sure you go knowing the drawbacks. Stimulants are serious business, even ritalin, so, you know, even if it helps you, respect the medication :) (is my advice)
