Guest guest Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I went off my AdderallXR 8 days ago. We had hoped that the XR formula would be better than the short acting, but it didn't make much diffeence with the side effects. Now today is day one on Concerta, another med for ADHD, to try to 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. I'm sorry if I didn't notice you were gone in the past. I think one problem is that we are getting so many new members it is difficult to remember everyone. And when our minds are all foggy that makes it worse. Hey, welcome to all the newbies. Jeanne in WI We have missed you both.......but I know how you could feel that way. I have felt that way a couple times, too. When I was in a crisis mode over my fibro a couple of weeks ago, no one really responded. I just think everyone is so overwhelmed with their own issues and keeping up on here is difficult. I come on here when I'm not feeling well since i have a lap top and can curl up in my bed. But, many people have to sit in front of their computer....I know I can't even do that for 5 minutes. Jeanne, Med changes just make fibro even harder to deal with so I understand and am sorry. Is your increase in fatigue do to the meds or another flare? What meds did you change? Do you think they will help you? Let us know what's going on! Missed You Both, Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
