[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 90569, member: 3647"] Well, My DEX took it for a period of time as an adult, and it helped him focus. I was always told that if someone truly has ADHD, this is the reaction that one would have from concerta (or any stimulant). Now, I have another friend who gets concerta and uses it as diet pills. She does NOT have ADHD, but the side effects are much like you are describing: nervous, no appetite, thin, her house is immaculate because she is always on the go...you get the picture. ADD is NOT the same as ADHD. The H in ADHD is what makes you need a stimulant. My DEX had the H, which meant he was hyper, and the stimulant calmed him down. If you are not hyper, and you take a stimulant, it will stimulate you. And I would bet that is what you are seeing. She probably needs to get off that medicine, and talk to her doctor again. [/QUOTE]
