I am currently taking Buspar and Lexapro. My psych wants to wean me off of the Lexapro and up the Buspar because I want to start an ADHD medication but don't want to have so many things in my system. I will do the Lexapro/Buspar first and revisit the ADHD meds if I opt to later. But she said my only real choice for it right now would be Concerta which I took 10+ years ago as a teenager. Now I'm an adult, on different meds, and on birth control pills too. For any of you who have taken Concerta as an adult (in general, or with any combination of these other things), how much did it affect you? Was it positive or negative? I understand everyone is different and there's no one outcome to expect I just don't want to zombified, just have better focus on work and shut my brain down for sleep and stuff.

One user mentioned that Concerta helped them not be so impulsive and jittery, but they still couldn't control their focus well. Another user shared that they have been on Concerta for over 6 years and it works well for them. However, experiences with medications can vary greatly from person to person, so it's important to discuss your concerns with your psychiatrist and monitor your response to the medication.
