"i was diagnosed with adhd when i was 7. and started taking focalin soon after i was very impulsive and couldn&#039;t focus. when i was 11 i started adderall that would keep me up at night. and i was dependent on it. last year (13 yrs old) i was on 31 mg of concerta the first day i took it. i was lightheaded and nauseous. i am almost 14 and i take 27 mg of concerta it has helped immensly with social situations i am now a &quot;cool&quot; kid. i still struggle with school and am not very hungry. but overall i think concerta is a good fit for me. on a average day i eat a small breakfast of toast and a fruit or veg, skip lunch(not ever hungry) and eat a light dinner. on the weekends i don&#039;t take it and i have the muchies all day."
