You are completely wrong about that. Concerta is a CNS stimulant with immediate effects as soon as the drug gets into your blood. He was not feeling a placebo effect, he was feeling the effects of a CNS stimulant like cocaine pr amphetamine (adderall). Antidepressants are a completely different.

Please don't talk rubbish. Concerta is not anything like anti-depressants and does not need to build up in the blood over months of use. It is Methylphenidate and is a Dopamine uptake inhibitor. This is why it has a high abuse potential due to its sudden effect

This is actually not true. Concerta works the day you take it and is completely different than Anti-Depressants. Try looking up drugs before you comment on them.

Actually that is incorrect... concerta is a stimulant and the effects can be felt immediately. Do not use wikipedia.

i dont reccomend it. concerta is potent. I was dosed up on an adult prescription since i was 9, and it was terrible... and i didnt even know it. i genuinely have ADHD, so it had the opposite effect on me that it would have had on a normal human being. unfortunately, that means i felt dead inside and didnt even know it. i wasnt sad. wasnt depressed. wasnt happy. i could focus, think, plan, but had no motivation. i was a zombie. adderol at least lets you enjoy looking at a female, concerta robbed me of that. i still liked ritalin the best though. may have been four pills a day, but it was simple, and helped me focus without screwing stuff up.

Poor answer because it does not answer the question, it merely gives an anecdote of a negative experience that is merely correlated with stimulant use (and not causative per se). You would need to take it numerous times (i.e. hundreds of times) to determine whether the anxiety (and associated rapid heart rate) are directly related to the stimulants or some other variables (like anticipating bad experiences. Note that placebos have a high incidence of negative side effects as well).
When a person brings their religious beliefs and judgmental opinions into the conversation then it just becomes absurd. As to trying Concerta or something milder: yes it would be worth a try, if your doctor is willing to go along. Concerta is milder and is designed to have less extreme ups and downs. It's worth a try.

Sorry but that is wrong... Concerta does not take weeks of continuous use to have an effect. It is not like anti-depressants... Concerta is more like Viagra in that after it's taken it works for a certain number of hours and then it wears off.

Anyone reading this concerta does not take weeks to take effect. It's not as strong as addy but it last a lot longer I've been on it for 9 years I would know. Those who have never taken it DO NOT TAKE IT AT NIGHT. You will not be able to go to sleep

You correctly pointed out that the person who made this comment is in high school. You then identified yourself basically as a stimulant expert of many years. I am assuming you are also an adult. The teen in high school was simply reaching out to another person in attempt to offer help through personal experience. Unfortunately, this same teen experienced complete disrespect from a different person. It's a real shame that someone who distinguishes him/herself as more experienced in life would mistakenly think this grants permission to pass judgement on others. One thing is for sure, the teen in high school demonstrated a much higher level of maturity.

You are so wrong it hurts . Concerta effects you the first time you take the pill that's why it's also a party drug.
