I took Concerta for a month. Felt like meth to me. Not sure it helped all that much. I could focus. Did not actually mean I did focus but I could at times. However the crash when the pill wore off each afternoon was terrible. I became touchy and grouchy. Psych had my wife come with me when we did an evaluation session to decide if the Concerta was working. She asked him to take me off it. I did not like my self in the afternoon and neither did she. He suggested an additional dose of Ritalin in the afternoon. However I did not want to be that speedy going into the evening and figured it was just delaying the crash.
