used Concerta and Marijuana, haven't felt the same since worried about side effects

Dude stop man, marijuana shouldt be used unless its prescribed by a Doctor. I'm neurologist and mixing Recreational drugs with stimulants is bad news. You can get into legal trouble and lose friends , family and do bad in school. Do the right thing and get help.

You guys realize every one reacts different to everything right? I myself get depressed when I smoke weed as opposed to my girlfriend she gets all revved up and is ready to raise a roof. Obviously this kid had a bad Chemical reaction between the 2 drugs, don't encourage him to carry on if it's messing him up! some people can take it and some not obviously he's the product of someone who cant

Maybe you should stop smoking period!

Hey Thomas it's anxiety 100%...even if you didn't have it before the Marijuana woke up some Demons that your gonna have to face..I know because yes I take Concerta and a Panic Attack will feel alot like a heart attack. Nothing is wrong with your nervous symptom you just have Anxiety now. Manage it and you will be stronger for it. Yes Anxiety feels like "theres something wrong with my heart it feels tight....ect...ect" goes on forever. They symptoms of Anxiety are just as much physical as mental...Your body is releasing Adrenline because you keep fooling urself that there is something wrong

I'm a 16 male who takes 72 mg concerta everyday and I noticed that whenever I get high on any amount amount of weed. It's really relaxing and it's fun to just lay in bed, and drift in the feeling. Smoke your weed about an hour after you get home if you want this effect

"Y’all seem to be pretty concerned about your physical and mental well-being; I applaud you for that."

That put a nice smile on my face as I was thinking the same.

Every teenager between 12 and 19 will go through a series of hormone and chemistry changesthat are drastic. Pot effects will change and may seem chaotic one year and not the next. Slow down and wait a few years on pot if you are feeling bad now. It's just going to keep dozing no the same thing. As for the heart palpitations that could be the higher dose of concerta along with a mix of hormones and cannabis. But it could be just the concerta. Get checked out. If all is good just give it awhile. I used to love smoking. NOw it just makes me depressed while on concerta so I don't do it much for now

Remeber take it easy these harder times will pass but address any heart issues when they arise. The brain will recover. The heart maybe more delicate!!

The freaking out is not from the Concerta at this point. Your reaction to weed now, is because every-time you get high you feel the way you felt with the concerta, and the weed amplifies your sense of paranoia.

Hey I just wanted to give some real advice. I have been on concerta for 2 years it causes the heart racing anxiety ect a lot more when you first start as your body has to adjust to the stimulant. The trick to smoking weed on it is to make sure to 1) have indica strain 2) only smoke when your concerta is wearing off. this is different for some people if you take it in the morning in could be by the afternoon or by dinner time it kinda feels like a low to some people. Don't smoke until you get use to the dose that your put on and the side effects should decrease within a month of changing the dose. You should stick to smoking later at night and taking your pill nice and early the better it is if they don't interact. It sounds like the strain of marijuana you where taking is sativa which if you do your research has more of a stimulant effect which I can imagine would make you feel like sh*t on concerta

Hmmm. So it okay to feed Conserta to teenagers but weed is bad for a grow brain. WOW. First a lot of teenagers that smoke weed are self-medicate because they have ADHD. Sativa helps with focusing. Then there's CBDs (none psychoactive part of cannabis.{no high}) that are really great at focusing. In today environment of great stains of cannabis you can get 20:1 CBD to THC. So this is what is showing that helping these ADHD people. I was a casual user starting at 14 (I was diagnosed with ADHD in my 30s)but i notice i crushed my classes after smoking at lunch. that was 30 years ago before super potent weed. Now i have started back using medically her in Cali with high CBD stains and, wow, what a noticeable difference in focus. The reason i started back up is Conserta started messing with my working memory(hadn't been smoking when this started happening).

So i decided to try another route and CBDs is the way i go and it crazy effective. Only downside last 3 hour tops be fore needing another dose. So people please stop with all this weed real bad for your teenage brain. It most likely bad for none ADHD brains but for those that have this may not be that bad. Before anyone and i mean anyone trys and tell my there proof from fMRI i call BS. Mainly do to the fact these so called studies are extremely flawed . These images are after use and not before so there no way to tell if weed is the cause of such issues. If they ever want to do a real study this is how to do it take cancer patent fMRI there brain before they start treatment then have them smoke weed to help with the chemo, this can last for year or more, then fMRI them after. Then we can see if weed really hurts the brain. Until then stop blowing smoke up are ass. Now there this idea that ADHD people have a higher addictive rate then other, this is true, but that is usually because they were never diagnosed until after there addictions. ADHD people have a hard time getting along with family which is your support system and if that not there the likelihood for addiction can take root.

I am not saying that teenagers should smoke but what i am saying is that this is a much more complicated then, "Don't do it."

try concerta 18 mg, thats what ive been on for around 4 years and it really has changed my life for the better. it has much less side effect than that of the 36 mg and overall works perfectly. good luck ! i did try the 36 mg for like 6 months but found that the 18 mg worked much better with much less side effects that you will get used to with time.

FYI I am prescribed concerta 54mgs and when I started it they had to start me at the lowest dose and work me up to the 54mg because it's dangerous to go straight to the 54mg due to it speeding up heart rate in most people so that may have been your issue all along. I don't judge on the weed because I occasionally smoke a bit but as far as the concerta I would say that if you're not prescribed it can be pretty dangerous and I wouldn't suggest it in the future.

54 mg bro. Also, I did dabs a few days ago, i got something similar to what you did. I had really wierd and vivid trips, couldnt walk well, and the world felt like it was spinning. Mind you, I greened out at the same time, so that probably had something to do with those symptoms. Eventually though, I was sober enough to go to my ball hockey practice, which really helped me in sobering up. Excercise is a really good way to boost your adrenaline, as well as expel the last of the drugs out of your system through sweat (or at least thats how it worked for me.)

I've been on concerta 54mg for about 8 years now and I dabbled in smoking weed in high school and about a year ago I started to smoke weed again with no problems and then about 5 months ago I started to get really weird paranoid highs as if I was going to have a heart attack so I stopped smoking and it changed me I start to have pretty bad panic attaks regularly so I went to the doctor about a month ago after enduring months of panic attacks and weird behavior and they proscribed me Zoloft saying I had depression and I'm about a month into talking alongside my 54mg concerta and I still feel distant and as if nothing is real and like I'm just going through life and not enjoying anything or be able to interact with friends could real use some info on what's going on with me. And I am going to see my doctor in the coming weeks to talk about it aswell.

dude grow some balls and learn how to use drugs. read up study and take em. ofc u feel different u took meds not prescribed for you. also the pit is not what screwed you over but rather the other shitt you probably know nothing about.
