Why the fuck didn't you ask your doctor this shit? Is this some retarded copypasta? How is your doctor unclear on whether or not you have ADHD? This is either some really bizarre troll attempt or you have a shitty doctor.

>>37488323
its really nice, it should help a lot.
When i took Ritalin the first time i felt like a god.
Be careful tho, you can get addicted to that shit fairly quick.

Well what the fuck was I supposed to ask from the doctor? All I got was the prescription, pamphlet about concerta, and a long lecture about the headaches and nausea. I thought it was pretty self explainatory, and desu I was also kind of not listening because I was so anxious.
It's not like the doctor said "Anon, you have ADHD", the doctor only talked about concentration issues, and by those words and the prescription drug specifically made for ADHD patients, I think it's pretty safe to assume I have ADHD diagnosis.

I also find it more comfortable to ask these casually on here where people may have actually used the drug.

>How is your doctor unclear on whether or not you have ADHD?

No, the doctor is not unclear, I'm unclear. And frankly I don't even care if I have ADHD or not, because I know I have concentration issues and now I got a medicine for it.

Yeah I'm not planning to eat it every day. School days only. I'm taking the minimum dosage.

Ok sorry man, but seriously, these are all questions you 100% should have asked your doctor if you were concerned. If she's a half-decent doctor she'll understand you're anxious, particularly if she knows you have Asperger's.

For example, this:

>I'm also worried the side effects will overweight the benefits, I'm really sensitive to all kinds of substances and I get really anxious after one cup of coffee. I heard to most common side effects are mild headache and lack of appetite, but those don't really worry me. I'm more worried that the drug will drive me insane or something.

should absolutely have been talked through in detail with your doctor. I'm no expert, but I believe most drugs are far more effective when the person taking them is fully on board and understands the exact reason they're being prescribed. For example, is this expected to be a short term thing or will you be taking the drugs for years? Those sorts of questions are extremely important. It's absolutely unacceptable for you to be unclear on whether or not you've been diagnosed with ADHD.

Good luck mate, hope it all works out for you.

I strongly doubt you have aspergers if you have difficulty focusing on something that interests you

Your doctor sounds like a fucking hack

What is the dosage?

>>37489091
Oh I can focuse on things that interest me, I just get very exhausted by it. I love reading, but I get physically tired after just few pages. I sometimes need to take naps after doing some programming.
The doctors I visited are very good, I'm just very bad at explaining things. The point of the thread was to talk about concerta and the effects of it. I'm just very anxious and scared that the drug will mess me up.

Whatever is the minimum dosage. The doctor said that we would start with minimum dosage, but considering my height and weight I could be taking much larger dosages. But we go with the minimum dosage for now, and if it works, it works. If it doesn't work, the dosage will be made larger. I even will receive a special ID in the mail so that I can get concerta from the drug store and have the government pay part of it.

Y'know, if you really want to see what drug would be the most effective for you and you have decent insurance, I'd recommend a gene test. Figured out that stimulants don't work too well for me and now I'm on Strattera.

Good luck fellow ADHD anon.
