Re: Concerta and irritability

[Anonymous]

I’m so glad I found this post! I have been on 18 mg Concerta for a couple of weeks. In the last few days I’ve noticed that after about 5-6 hours it starts wearing off and I am CRANKY. And weepy, and my body is exhausted but my mind is still going in a thousand directions. It is the most awful feeling, having all these ideas and projects and lists in my mind and not having the energy to do anything. So I just talked to my doc and he said it’s wearing off because I’m not taking enough. Going to double my dose tomorrow. I’m terrified. Won’t I be twice as energetic in the morning and twice as depressed in the afternoon? On an interesting note, I just had a crazy sobbing and gasping crying jag that lasted for about 5 minutes, and strangely, I feel better. More centered. What’s that about?
