Wow… haven’t been here for a couple of days… thank you sooo much for your responses- and your encouragement. Means the world to me to know I’m not alone!
The past weeks have been a roller coaster, but the way it looks now, things are running much better. I am very glad I did not call it quits after I started this thread.
Seems like my body needed some time to adjust to the medication. I have gotten in the habit of taking on 27mg pill in the morning and then judging whether I need an additional lift after an hour or so. I am feeling more like myself again- quirky ideas and all. However, the amazing feeling of my mind being clear has vanished… but I find consolation in the fact that “normal” people don’t run around thinking how great it is that their mind is clear either, LOL.
@ Tiddler: I totally agree with you- the first day on Concerta was just awesome… made me understand what I have been missing all those years, LOL
@Bill: I hear you about the distractedness… I’m still very distracted- but at least I can reign myself in, if needed.
@ Munchkin: Good luck with your finding the correct dosage- nothing worse like the feeling of not being in control…
Had a talk with my nurse earlier today and she suggested to put me on 36mg instead of 27… we’ll see how this goes 
Let’s stay in touch and keep each other updated about our progress
Have a great rest of the day,
Rebecca
