First Month on Concerta XL 18mg

- Following on from my first video with that promised update.
A raw video diary from picking up my medication to week 3. I hope this helps people know a bit more of what you may expect when starting on ADHD medication.
I'm on 18mg too and I can do anything and I feel great with just the music on
The difference between long and short releases is that the long release .pi. ll. s. are highly engineered with
micro-cavities
to release the active-agent over time in the intestine. They can be of any dosage from 18mg to the higher do. se. s.
I don't really know what you mean with the percentages
Alright it worked here
I'm really cautious about taking any medications, so thank you for this. I've just been prescribed Concerta 18mg.
How is it going? Did the meds help
@jadoisready @smallcatbigmeow the next video is uploading as we speak!
Hi Catherine, great videos on your ADHD journey, thank you for sharing and well done for sticking with it and getting your diagnosis through the NHS, which is ridiculously slow. I've just been diagnosed at age 48 (and a half) and I'm waiting to receive my first prescription for ConcertaXL. Really excited to get started and see how they can help me with my symptoms.
I'd be really interested to hear how your getting on now you've been on the meds for a couple of months, and the difference between the starting dose and an increased dose (if you did go up)?
I hope you're able to keep posting, as you progress on your journey.
All the best and good luck.
@davidlumsden7006 oh my goodness I’m so sorry I’ve only just seen your comment! Thank you for such kind and supportive words ✨ I need to do another video, in true ADHD fashion I started something and didn’t keep it up 🥲 I do hope you’re feeling clearer since your diagnosis and I’ll make sure to post again soon ❤
Hi Catherine. Thank you so much for posting about your experience with your ADHD medication. My daughter should be starting on medication soon and is feeling a bit nervous about it so it’s nice to see someone else’s experience. I know it can be different for everyone but it’s great that you’ve shared this and to get people taking more about ADHD, it’s different symptoms and how meditation can help. I hope you’re still getting on well with your meditation? 😁
Thanks so much for your comment ✨the first few weeks can definitely feel weird but I’m hoping you’ll see a positive change in her like my family did in me. I’ll keep you updated on how I get on over the next few months as I find the right dose!
@@catherineallan5043did you find the right dose? I picked up Concerta 18mg today in the evening and plan on starting tomorrow morning. Been diagnosed with adhd since I was 24 and now at 32 I’ve decided to give Concerta a try. Did you also get the name brand or did you get the generic? I decided to get the name brand even tho they charged me $413 for a month supply when the generic would have been under 80. I just keep hearing the generic is not the same and I didn’t want to risk it so I got the name brand.
@@gustavogo2915hey! I got the usual Concerta ! Wow that’s a lot of money:( I hope the medication has started off ok for you, the side effects can be tough but they do subside!
Concerta is underrated imo :D
hello catherine, thanks for sharing your first journeys in ADHD medics,
i have my concerta now right in front of me and searching for people's first uses,
we would love to see how things is going now after a months...
BTW, you are really beautiful🤗
@sultanmdn2957 I’m so overwhelmed by suddenly seeing all these comments I had no idea about! Thank you so much❤ I hope things went well for you and I’ll be sure to give an update soon so stay tuned x
I’d love an update!
I’ll get onto this I promise! I filmed it all I just need to edit and upload, this accountability is helping 😂😂
I’m waiting for titration I’m very interested in how Concerta could help.
I’ll try and post this today :) xx
@@catherineallan5043madam please post the update :))
@08emily89 it’s uploading, sorry for the delay!
In my experience eating and sleeping regularly and not drinking coffee does wonders with concerta
Are those Moleskine spectacle frames? They look very similar to mine, but mine are purple.
Hey! No they’re not they’re from Ace & Tate, which is a brilliant company because you can choose a style then each frame comes in different sizes (as in the lense size!)
@@catherineallan5043 ah, cool. Thank you!
Still alive??
@concept226 😂😂😂😂😂 this made me laugh. I’ll be back, bear with me!!!!!
@@catherineallan5043 no worries, just checking. 😁
Wait is 18mg "XL"?
Sorry I’ve only just seen this! XL relates to the release times :)
@@catherineallan5043 Hmmm mine says: "Long Release".
As far as I know "XL" is the label from 36mg upwards but maybe it's different in EU
ooooo interesting.. my understanding is that about 22% is short acting and 78% is long acting - not sure if that correlates to the percentages you have been given?

my son just started at 18mg and has had no effect.
You keep posting your negative comments about your son everywhere. Sounds like you’re trying to discourage others…..
@williamwinn948 don’t feel disheartened. Sometimes things are happening internally that aren’t as obvious to other people. It can take time to find the right medication and dose so stick with it ✨
