Getting weird

Hello
For history refer to previous post.

Ok so here goes (and I am not a person who complains the whole time)

Started on 36mg Concerta (history)
They put me on 18mg ,for a month ,cut out halfway though the day (Concerta)
Back on 36 ,went well for about a month (excellent actually)

Now back to ,hyperactive ,cannot concentrate ,oversensitive some days (all senses) some days dead in the morning ,takes about 30 mins before the meds work ,losing my balance bigtime ,eating disorders (losing weight like crazy ,not hungry for a day or 2,already on borderline on weight loss) ,getting migraines ,switched over 2 cluster migraines.
Feels like I "short out" sometimes.
Cannot remember ,parts of the day ,sometimes.
Now ,all my interests ,switched ,everything I used to love to do ,I dont like anymore ,and want to do everything else
Cant do new things ,get bored ,very quickly.(clashing with statement haha)
Consentration sucks bigtime ,and I get agitated very easily (not new ,gone for a while)

Oversensitive ,to ,coffee ,and any stuff like that.
Blood pressure regulation ,nonexistent (and I am eating healthy ,fitness freak)
Some days ok ,110/70 then 180/130 something like that ,extremely high.
Some days I do not know who I am ,thats freaky.
Messing with work ,friends ect.

Anybody ,experiencing this on Concerta ,worked very well for me ,and now all of a sudden ,blam! ?
Seeing doctor and psychiatrist (not going fast enough ,cat scans and crap and its not working for me at the moment)


Feedback appreciated
Dont want to sound like a moaner ,lol

Re: Getting weird

Legion,

Are you taking any other meds besides Concerta? If so, what and for how long?

Thanks.

Re: Getting weird

At the moment ,Xanor ,just 2 keep me calm ,and blood pressure pills (so that I dont get a stroke @ 27 years old and I am fit and eat healthy-fitness/gym ,active ,like I said ,bloodpressure regulation not working to well ,it not stable ,it messes around ,very fast at times.
(o and I dont sleep all to well ,unless I crash and burn -3 hrs max a day ,cant sleep)
This just happend all of a sudden
(confused the one day ,on the bike ,ended up where I lived ,did not register until I drove around for about 10 mins) then got really confused (spoon fork ,had to think about the difference and analize) then same thing with actually moving around (move hand ,close fingers ,to pick up ,what is that ,o its a cup of coffie because its a cup for a couple of reasons and ,o yea ,you made coffie like a minute ago)
Get the idea ? LOL
Then the migranes ,my schedule or the order in chaos that I created got broken ,then cluster migranes.

Re: Getting weird

Legion, this sounds like more than ADD. Personally, if I were you, I'd lay off the Concerta until I got my blood pressure under control. And, if your episodes of confusion are as severe as you describe, I think you should get yourself to a doc ASAP. You may be having TIAs (transient ischemic attacks) which can be precursors to mini-strokes.

Good luck!
