I’ve been taking Concerta XL for three weeks now and tbh little has changed. I’m aware it’s a low dose so I’ll put my disappointment on hold for now. There has been one significant benefit..I don’t feel like sleeping at 1pm. This inevitably makes me a little more productive, so I’m not grumbling.
I noticed one day in I felt sooo low. I figured the reason was, a plan for day had been cancelled. The energy I’d reserved for that plan, I used to magnify my depression. A lesson learned, I should always have a Plan B.
I’m anticipating my prescriber will double my dose of concerta xl at our next appointment. The low dose was in place, to check the medication didn’t have an adverse effect on myblood pressure or heart rate. It didn’t, so today I nervously took a double dose in advance of my appointment.
Three hours in and I experienced a mild headache, but unsure if it was due to the glass of red wine I had last night. I checked my blood pressure which was higher than its ever been at 145/85 with heart rate at 56 bpm. I’m not worried but it’ll be back to the single dose tomorrow. In terms of focus, I have been totally absorbed by website creation. Maybe its Medication Magic but I think not
