[QUOTE="carolanne, post: 90563, member: 1904"] Can anyone tell me about concerta? I met Jess at her new apt(twit was out) and she told me about how she is feeling on this medication. She said she feels more nervous, can't sleep, cries alot....and I noticed she has lost major weight....she always was thin but this is walking corpse thin and she is so pale. I also noticed she is twitchy....something she has never been. We chatted for a bit and I asked about how she wound up on it....she said a worker at the home "diagnosed" her as ADD and the psychiatrist put her on it. Now, doesn't ADD show up earlier than 17? I never had complaints about her from her elemetary school. She could always sit and read a book for hours....wasn't fidgety at all. I told her she needs to tell her psychiatrist and maybe be re-evaluated. On the plus side, the apt is spotless(can't say that for the building....ugh), her cupboards are full, she has a menu on the fridge for monthly meals and is keeping every receipt she gets. She even handed me $12 for the phone....I said I would pay it for a bit but she insisted. Didn't have the heart to tell her it was $45 a month but am proud she gave me what she had. So any input on this drug? Carolanne [/QUOTE]
