"і am a 28 year old female with add and mild form of narcolepsy. before concerta, і was tired and sleepy all the time and distracted. it&rsquo;s gotten to the point where іt was affecting my work. і thought enough was enough and went to my doctor. concerta was the first medication he prescribed and it&rsquo;s the best. but we experimented with adderral (good pill but knocked me out at 7:00pm after іt wore off, so іt didn&rsquo;t address narcolepsy) and ritalin (heart rate was just insane) and vyvanse (gave me anxiety that i never had). with concerta і have 0 side effects, і am never sleepy anymore (but sleep well at night) and distraction levels have decreased significantly. giving іt a 9 because і am not at 100% with focus. і wish it were slightly stronger."
