Anyone on concerta? help!?
Question:
Answers:
I was on concerta for about a month but I was having bad side effects like not being able to sleep. I have been steadily losing weight too since being on ADHD drugs but I have not been off of them either so I can't totally help you there. I'm now on Adderall XR and it's ok I guess I need more time to see about it.
It makes sense why you lost all the weight because since it's a stimulant, the drug will speed up your metabolism and will make you lose weight. It would also make sense that once you're off the drug that the opposite will happen, much like when people quit smoking.
The link below is for the National Institute of Health's advisory about Concerta. About the same as you get from the pharmacy.
Other Answers:
Weight loss is a side effect of stimulants like Concerta but you don't make decisions on taking them or not taking them based on the potential for weight gain. If it is helping you, that's the point of taking it. Keep in contact with your doctor, adjust the dose up or down as you can (18, 36, etc) within reason given that that tabs can't be cut.
Good luck.
