I'm so glad these videos are up so I can relate :) I'm currently on 54 mg and I have noticed a huge differance. I too started at 18mg and moved my way up. I was suppose to go to 72 mg I believe but I stayed at 54 because I started to get twitchy at first but then I got used to it.
@ginsengchris Sorry late response but 54 mg was pretty strong at first but then i got used to it. I could focus for hours at a time and keep a conversation going without distractions which is a very big issue for me. The problem for me was getting off of it. I was due for a refill but my insurance was not up to date, as a result I lost my prescription and dealt with not being on my medication for a few LONG weeks. Now I'm completely off the meds, but i definately need to get back on for school
@trajikher0 Don,t worry about the late responce as I have started to study so time is not on my side. I do find that most people take the meds when needed rather than being spaced out with friends for no good reason BUT there are poeple that do need the meds more often that so.
hey any news with the 54 mg? did you switch yet? how did it go? i took my first 36 mg today and found it a bit weak. i still found myslef losing attention and still found tasks really demotivating... thanks!
@st3ic86 The Meds concerta don,t effect me in that way anymore with the loss of apitite. I have lost weight but only as I have stoped training for the moment due to a shoulder injury. Unfortunatly I lose weight realy fast if I stop. Its a up and down thing. 4 years ago I could have competed in body fitness but only just 4 fun, I would not have won. :)
hey man. nice hearing. Yeah, I really noticed NOTHING with the 18 mg... They give that to little 7 year olds. I was doing fine on 36mg with no side effects, but I find 36 to be just a tat bit week..not worth a money trip to the pharmacy. YES, I did kntice a good difference with 36mg, but I would like to test 54mg as well. From what I have read, Late teens-adults who have been on concerta for a while, tent to be more pleased with the effectiveness of 54mg as opposed to 18 or 36mg.

Wow, I was a little shocked to hear you say you're going up, but I guess it just shows that you need to take your time with it.
