Like I mentioned earlier I am on my almost 3rd week of taking concerta and i hate it. I still don’t know if I am adhd but I am having the same problems as I did with the vyvanse. Severe headache and pain in between my shoulder blades. I have had a full cardio workout and I am 44 in good health and have no other problems than Hashimotos which I am not yet taking meds for when this is all over. Can someone please help?? I am only on the second day of a smaller dose of concerta at 18 mg the previous one was 27. My head feels like it’s in a vice, my ears are ringing and I am having anxiety! Worse yet when I try and stop taking it, my anxiety gets much worse! I want them to put me on something that I can taper off of and be done with these meds. Just like the vyvanse my anxiety goes through the roof when i stop. I know it’s a low dose and I should be able just to get off but I can’t. The doctors keep telling me that and are not listening to what I am saying! There are 45 miles from me and there is no one else around. Can someone please give me hope here? My plan is to switch to a med I can take and slowly cut the pills in half and taper off. You can’t cut the concerta since it’s extends release. Please anyone give me an idea on what I should do to get off this. Thank you
