I saw my doctor this afternoon and he suggested I try Stattera. While it can take a few weeks to notice the effects I hope it offers a better experience than the Concerta does.

I find myself pretty amped up after I take just the one 18mg pill. Like Lindstr7, I can be self conscious as well. After I took the Concerta, I found I would think of a hundred ways to answer a simple question and it would be like herding cats as I tried to zero in on just one thought. I would start listening to what I was saying to see if it might sound odd to the person I was talking to. That would often cause me to lose my train of thought or feel like I was rambling. GOOD TIMES!

I’ll try the Stattera and see how that goes. I’ve always been a bit nervous and anxious so I’m curious to see what the “calming effect” is like.
