Since taking the medication I have gained 6 kilos in just 3 months
It was a daily weight gain. I have never weighed more than 54 kilos.
If I take the medication with insufficient water, it feels like I have heartburn.
At the age of 19, I began a regimen of 40 mg of a medication for a month. Unlike my experience with Concerta and other stimulants, I felt no motivation. I also experienced mild nausea, which intensified when I increased the dosage to 80 mg. I took a day off from the medication when I was away from home and noticed a return of my happiness. The medication didn’t make me feel sad, but it did cause me to lose interest in everything I used to enjoy. I had no desire to do anything, and nothing brought me joy while I was on this medication. I also didn’t feel productive. The only positive effect I noticed was an improvement in memory, which slightly helped me in relationships by enabling me to remember obligations. However, my lack of motivation negatively impacted many of my responsibilities. I also experienced a decrease in appetite and an increase in anxiety, similar to the effects of stimulants. I still struggle to read a book because my mind constantly urges me to stop reading and lose focus.
