      @mckaylaeljsieharris i was prescribed 27mg, and told that's a sort of medium dose. so maybe you could ask your prescriber about decreasing your dose? you might have less side effects if you do. and of course, taking your medication exactly as prescribed should minimise side effects too - if youre taking it on and off, even on accident, that's likely a cause for some of those negative experiences

      i've only had that experience with antipsychotics and i hated it so much that i've never taken them again. it's been around 8 years since then. i haven't taken concerta or other stimulants yet, so i can't comment on that, but i seriously hope thats not my experience with them ::p been waiting since june to get them approved...
