I didn't want to switch to elvanse just because of the hassle of going through all the titration again but it might be the solution. Frustrating as 36 mg felt fine for a while then nothing . I thought it might be the hot weather and disrupted sleep lately ,I'm not sure
Possibly switching from 36 mg concerta to 20 mg elvanse . Anyone done the same and had any side effects or anything to watch out for ?
Or was it a smooth transition ? Anything I should look out for? Is elvanse good in the heat ?
My prescriber said even walking it shouldn't be that high . But checking online it says a 50 year old man walking heart rate would probably be between 90 and 110 anyway . So not sure I needed to come off it. But I have dropped down to 27 mg concerta until I get my new elvanse 20 mg. My heart rate even on 27 mg has spiked to 116 when walking so either thats just me or im reactive to concerta . So a lower dose won't make any difference
Should I just stop concerta and wait for elvanse
Mine seems to spike to around 110-115 on 2nd release when the 50 per cent of released into my system . Wondered if this is just common
Even when sitting or just walking . Is this normal ,plus I'm sweating a lot more. Trying to stay as hydrated as possible at work .
Noticed some facial spasms ,very short ,like second or so long. Is this common ? Ive heard concerta can produce tics . Ive definitely had occurrences like this before taking concerta but very very sporadically but I feel like I'm having them more often now since going up to 54mg but 36 mg wasn't really doing anything for me
Does it cause any side effects. I feel like 54 mg is too much at the moment ,so want to drop the dosage . Thinking of trying 27mg then work up to 36mg .
Mine has been around 85 up to 110 ish when walking or doing mimimal exertion during the day . For example sitting on the couch now its 90 bpm. I know stimulants will raise it but is it normal to ge around that mark
I was doing a fast walk on treadmill normally I would be in 120 bpm range ,this was concerning as I wouldn't call it high exertion . So I stopped my workout ,any tips on this because I really need to work out by my bpm even when resting on concerta is in the 80s and any exertion lifts it into the hundreds currently .
Happens just randomly at points in the day. If I exert myself then a lot worse but will happen at any point and then the back of my head is just damp and feel incredibly hot . Any tips on reducing this
Today for example ive felt more intense , more rushes, bit of anxiety , pulse rate between 90 and 105 most of the day. Yesterday was fine felt smooth ,pulse low 80s and obvious rushes and intensity .
Having much worse sleep, having jumpy nightmares and waking up with anxiety feeling. Wondered if anyone else experienced this . Been getting jittery in the evening and thought that was just part of a crash.
Thinking of dropping back down because 54mg feels too much at times , it might smooth out but I do have some 36mg and 27mg to try. Has anyone felt any different when switching down
With no issues . I have a day tomorrow where I feel like having some drinks. Been on concerta for just over two and half months ,now on 36mg . If I take a day break to have a night out , I won't get any withdrawal effects or weird side effects ?
Im currently on 36mg and last couple of days I've felt agitated and anxious all day , about my 5th week on 36mg and otherwise generally been fine, suppose to be going up to 54 mg tomorrow but I have a big day at work tomorrow and cant afford to be feeling like this . Should I take a break from it . I feel very jittery and imagine my bp and heart rate are raised .
Wondering if its due to high blood pressure while on concerta , had a headache yesterday then woke up with a burst blood vessel in right eye .
I started taking it in the winter ,now heading into the spring/summer, wondered if it makes you extra sweaty or uncomfortable in hot weather as I've yet to experience it
