Re: Concerta vs new Generic Concerta

[Anonymous]

I have been researching this topic for days and was glad to find this post/thread. I thought I was going a little crazy. I have been on Concerta for months, and just this month (2 weeks ago) I was given the generic for the first time. The pharmacist did ask me if I wanted it and after seeing the price difference to me, of course I said ok.

Well…2 weeks later, I am seriously considering going back to the brand name for next month. I felt great over the last few months after spending several months adjusting my dose with my doctor. This month, I am constantly on edge, feel very anxious, am not focusing at all, i am back to procrastinating again, I can’t sleep, have the worst heartburn every and the dry mouth is obnoxious. It is to the point where I am skipping days to get a break from the side effects.

Has anyone else had any of these issues and did going back to name brand help at all??

Thanks for any comments!
