I don’t have any experience with Concerta either so I can’t answer any medication specific questions.

However, it could be that you experienced a slight “high”, which is normal when starting a new medication or increasing the dosage, and now you are levelling out. Also, it could be you just need a break, like you said. Pace yourself and don’t try to focus quite so hard for a few days. Give your brain a break. Then see how you do after that. You may just need a little longer to adjust. And you may also have experienced a natural decline in your dopamine levels for whatever reason. We all have good days and bad days.

i understand your frustration because I am in a similar situation right now. I felt like I was really on top of things before the holidays but now I just feel drained and I can’t seem to get my “to-do” list done or even get started on it most days. Some days I forget that I have a list. It is sad to see all my headway slowly being lost and everything descending into chaos once more.
