I was release from Denmar pshyicatric hospital 2 weeks ago and went back to work immediately. The stress is unbearable at the moment and makes me anxious and the hours are long. they expect me to be up and running like before (and more) after 4 weeks sick leave. could it be the work stress causing the anxiety tensness or the concerta. The concerta really helps me concentrate very well. Didnt have this effect in Denmar. Only sice back at work

Hi, experiencing anxiety and stress can really be sometimes distracting and annoying. Its like a circle, the more anxiety there is the more stressful you feel and so on in the circle. If Concerta is helping you concentrate and perform your activities better i dont see the reason you should stop using it. On the other hand, i can tell you that work can be really stressful , even for people that are in perfectly good shape and health. Plus, you were on your sick leave so you will need some time to adapt again to your work. My advice for you is to try and find a way where you can manage the extra stress. Try playing some sports if you have time or try some sort of meditation while you are at home. Anything that will keep your mind of the work. Would not hurt to try, it can only be helpful.

I went on concerta in grade nine but I has also just moved and it made me severely anxious in my stomach.. and depressed all the time because of it, I would cry day everyday if I could.... and I premuch suffered from it, I thought it was just me cause I have always been anxious my whole life and I found out I have OCD! or i'm sure just severe anxiety because I worry about real things. When I take concerta I can actually feel it when it works in my stomach I get this panicked feeling or sickkk feeling ... when your worrying about something so much because you think something bad is gonna or is happening, that's what I felt all day everyday for 3 years because of concerta. I always thought it was because of issues such as school and moving and I blamed alot of other things until I realized how jumpy it makes me feel, that reminds me of usual anxiety and also when I DON'T take it I feel less nervous. I don't know how it does it and I want to know but i'm glad in a way that others have felt the same because it like tortured me but also made me like a genius at school just from being anxious and trying to pay attention at the same time (hard to explain that but I think it makes u try to learn to try and take your mind off the anxiety.) because i'm.. on anxiety medication now & I'm soooo much happier for I don't feel the sick feeling (..jumpness) in my stomach anymore when I take concerta with it, at all BUT I can't pay attention NEAR as much as I use to when I had the jumpysick feeling in my stomach. I think that's suppose to be there to give ppl who don't have worries or anxiety alil bit of it so they give themselves more responsibility and jumpyness (id shake...) makes you learn . (if your thinking well if you already had jumpyness or anxiety whyd u take it ...I feel jumpy already but towards things like ppl judging me, I cant pay attention to what the teacher is saying AT ALL though I day dream alll the time. concerta I think makes ppl feel jumpyness towards everything infront of them which makes it ten times worse for the things I already feel jumpy with :/ . Anxiety medication I take makes it so I cant feel that way towards ANYTHING nomatter what ..so I dont feel like concerta is working anymore with it at all, I actually day dream sometimes with it. That was never possible when I just had the concerta and no anxiety medication.
p.s. jumpyness feeling I feel is like the attention allurt feeling you are suppose to feel when taking them. (worsened my anxiety and made me pay more attention to it- I could feel it in my stomach allday everyday)
