Check it out on Rick’s Rants Generic #4 video

AnonymousInactiveDecember 3, 2010 at 12:53 amPost count: 14413I have tried many different drugs. Antidepressants,antipsychotics, and stimulants including concerta. I am sure I have ADD and have had a diagnosis from a Psychologist, but never from a medical doctor. All the drugs I have tried have given me major side effects which make it difficutl for me. Mostly breathing problems, headaches, weight gain, major fatigue. The only drug that works somewhat is trazadone and only because it helps me sleep. Is there a Doctor that I can get a referral to in Canada that may be able to help, that is committed to results. I follow medical directions to the letter, however I do stop on my own if the side effects are too severe?

My world on Concerta is flat and dull and my world on Adderall is normal and I don’t have that out of touch feeling.

FYI — concerta DOES come in a generic brand, but does not have the technology that the concerta pill has. they are NOT the same.
The concerta pill capsule allows the medication to be released slowly over time, giving you a steady dose all day rather then bouncing up and down.
If you can, go Concerta. Have the physician write “no substitutions” on the script if you want your insurance plan to cover it.
