[|Human|] Hello!My name is Bogdan, I am from Romania, and I was recently diagnosed with ADD. My psychiatrist prescribed me Concerta, 18 mg for a week, then 36 mg for another week, and 54 mg for 16 days. I started to take the pils 3 days ago, but I am tired, lack of motivation and concentration all day long.I do not feel no benefits. Today I took 18 mg at 10 am, then another 18 mg pill at 14 pm and one 36 mg pill at 15 pm, but it didn t work. I ve had a nap at 16 pm, and I slept for about 2 hours. It didn t solve the problem. Please help me. Is it normal to feel like this for the first time of taking ADD medication?
[|AI|]  Dear Bogdan,Thanks for using Chat Doctor. What you are experiencing is not the normal effects of concert as most individuals report improvement in these symptoms rather than worsening. It will be appropriate if you can see your doctor again as I feel there are two possibilities. First the diagnosis of ADD need to be reconsidered. In case the diagnosis is confirmed by other colleagues psychiatrist it will be better to consider other options for ADD which includes Adderall, Vyvanse among others.  I hope this helps you. Feel free to write back to me if you have more questions. Thanks again.
