I am on my second day of non-generic Concerta 18 mg and my last. It is making me sleepy and preventing me from focusing at all. My eyes feel hypersensitive and my memory is impaired more than usual. Thankfully I am only on a two week trial, but I cannot function. I took ritalin (methylphenidate) when I was younger, 24 years ago, and used to get headaches, but I don’t remember anything like feeling like this. I wanted to try the SSRI route as I also experience dysthymia and anxiety, but the psychiatrist wanted to start with the most common stimulant, methylphenidate, believing the comorbidities were being caused by the ADHD and not co-existing on their own. My son is on biphentin, and I sure hope he doesn’t feel like this on it.
