Hey!

I just started and after 2 days of concerta Im not sure if I can continiue taking it.

In short I only had negative side effects like: heart palpatations, tightness in chest area, emotional numbness, felt physically heavy and drowsy, a bit of anxiety, irritability and a headace. No positive effects whatsoever, could not focus, do daily tasks and overall i just didnt feel like myself. Ofcourse im in contact with my psyhiatrist and currently waiting for his advice on what to do. :)

Im wondering if anyone else had only negative effects like this? What meds eventually worked for you?

Hey, on my first day on 18 mg concerta, im having:

- heart palpatations

- constant tightness in my chest

- tiredness

- emotional numbness

- no improvement in focus

- normal appetite

-a bit of anxiety when moving (likely heart rate)

I had 1 cup of coffee and im on sertraline aswell.

Should i continiue? Will it pass? How long until i see some positive effects?

Thanks, guys!
