"i&#039;ve been on concerta xl for 3 years now i have two large (36mg the highest dose for my age) every morning. i suffer from adhd well add and it really helps me feel motivated and helps me look forward to things. i lost 4 ish stone and went from 16.7 stone to 12 in 4 years as my adhd made me eat when i was bored/sad/happy and it really ruined my life. i don&#039;t have an appetite anymore and only eat in the afternoon once it&#039;s worn off. i do drink a lot of fluids as on the tablets i get thirsty. i&#039;m more social and i enjoy everyday activities a lot more including chores. negatives : the come down is awful and i usually slip into a depression but it is worth it ! i&#039;d recommend it to anyone !"
