Side effects of Concerta was the same as I previously read–irritability–only my irritability was more than I have ever experienced.

The only way to accurately explain it was like someone kept poking me and would not stop. It was like I was constantly being bombarded with frustration no matter what I was doing. Extreme feeling of pissed off but no way to stop it.

Still waiting on Ritalin prescription to be filled. Need pre-authorization for adult ADD meds. The Concerta was a coupon so it did not go through insurance.

I will talk to doc about Dexedrine as a few other medications. I have a feeling it will be trial and error for a while…
