I'm on week 4/8 of tiltration and struggling to really see any effects yet. I have no side effects other than an occasional heart flutter and a bit less apathy for life. But no dry mouth, no headaches, no appetite suppression. Insomnia yes, but that's always been a struggle and expected as now I'm not using my CBPM (cannabis) for sleep support.

Today I took 54mg about 2 hours ago and I'm sitting on the sofa with zero motivation or energy to do anything. I honestly feel like if someone had slipped me this medication without my knowledge I wouldn't notice I had a stimulant in my bloodstream.

I've completed a P-UK tiltration form today explaining how I'm feeling so waiting to hear the pharmacist response/advice.

Just wondering, has anyone else felt like this at the start then found after a few months it all clicks into place? As I'm feeling lik I'm just not absorbing this medication properly. Feeling pretty deflated and concerned there's not enough time to switch and try a different medication properly before being discharged back to my GP.

Edit to add: I can't say I noticed a onset or wear off time, when they ask me on the monitoring form what time it wears off I wish there was a "can't tell" option.

I received my 1st lot of meds last week (Tues) and took the 1st dose that day, I've been expecting a check up form to fill in from P-UK but noting in my notes yet.

Was I supposed to tell them I'd received the meds and started them?

I've triple checked my previous notes and no where says I must tell them when I start them, it just said start them asap once received. So I assumed they'd get an update from DPD about delivery and assume I'd started them and send the form, but now I'm worried I should have told them when I started.

Feeling deflated... This week I started on Concerta XL and I'm starting to think I should not tell people I'm taking it. I've now had 3 people make comments that I'm going to be a robot/boring/zombie now I'm medicated. I've been really looking forward to getting meds and having better executive function and emotional regulation, but now people are getting in my head that I'll not be the same personality or actually being happy with life, just surviving and coping with it better.
