"i am a nineteen year old woman taking concerta for add. it really helps me. i can focus a lot better and i feel a lot more relaxed. my boyfriend and i went from fighting every single day to not fighting at all. it has absolutely worked wonders for me. the only side effects i have had is no appetite and i have lost six pounds in less than a week which i am not complaining about since i am five foot three and weighed 155 pounds beforehand. i have also experienced a terribly dry mouth but my doctor said it should go away when i start my second dose. overall, i love it and i would recommend it to anyone!"
