It took finding six different psychologists over the span of six years, and countless sessions where I tried to explain how sudden my decision can be, how I always get distracted, how eccentric that makes me and how flappy my whole life is and has been, and all the underlying issues, until I finally met one who understood me and had expertise in the field.

Tomorrow, I will starting with a dose 18 mg of Concerta.

It really sucks it has to be this way. This really is true.

I now feel like I can put down my heavy armor, my sword and my shield.

    Hey there, thanks for responding two weeks later.

    So I al doing this trial run where I will find my dosage. It has been mostly great! My thoughts are still not spiralling as they used to.

    I’ve been experiencing the negative side where I get trouble sleeping. And I feel a bit of, not really full on headache as I know it, but a “cousin symptom” of it?

    The negative effects occured at the same time I increased dosage from 18 mg + 18 mg morning- afternoon to 36 mg + 18 mg. I have a scheduled follow up meeting in the middle of April but I asked them yesterday to get back to me with an earlier time to discuss dosage, side effects, etc.
