hi jeanne,

i have been on cencerta,36.mg 1xday, for years. it only works for

maybe a couple hours, some days, other days not at all.

adderall is a stronger stimulant, i am surprised you stopped it. what

side effects did it give you?

concerta has the weaker stimulant, ritalin, in it.

take care,

marg

formula would be better than the short acting, but it didn't make

much diffeence with the side effects.

help my fatigue. First warning on the med sheet is may cause

drowsiness. LOL! We are trying this type of med, hoping the side

effects will be easier on me than the plain stimulants. Time will

tell. Today I feel like it is giving me ADHD. Hard to focus on

anything for very long. I want to sleep, but can't. I'm thinking

positively that tomorrow will be better. Thank you for asking.
