Hi Henriette, I’m on concerta (72 mls) and I don’t have any side affects. In the beginning I had a belly ache and dry mouth, but not anymore. I love it and it has worked very well for me. I can control when i take it as it is a slow release. I do take Ritalin in the morning or the evening depending on how long my day will be as concerta is a 12 hr slow release and for me it lasts that long if not maybe 13 hours so the Ritalin just supplements what I need.
3 months ago concerta (36 mls) wasn’t working for me so I did change to Ritalin to give it a try and it made me feel gittery, unfocused and I was aggitated more often…couldn’t hold a topic very fwell and I felt I couldn’t stay on track for long. I went off of it immediately and back on concerta on a high dosage (72mls) where I am today and it made a huge difference. I felt and still feel like myself.
I know that generic brands don’t always work the same so be very aware if you are trying something new always ask for the real meds instead of generic until you understand how you are feeling on the “real” stuf.
Hope this helps
