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

i totally agree. these sites consist of insecure scared people so most of the things you read here are literally the worst and most uncommon things you can encounter. that beeing said anyone who does not test and study what they take are idiots and deserve whatever comes after blindly trying a drug.

Oh my god, please spare the pseudo-pharmacology. Marijuana doesn't do "the opposite" of concerta, they work on entirely different physiological systems. The end behavioral effects may appear different, but that doesn not mean that they have the same biological etiology. Concerta is no more dangerous than coffee when taken at doses inside the therapeutic window. People mix marijuana and coffee all the time.

He had a panic attack. He may have a predisposition toward anxiety or panic disorders, which should be assessed properly by a psychiatrist. It happens all the time to people who smoke weed- it's called greening out and it's a cascade of nasty effects that include light-headedness, tachycardia, low blood sugar, tingling in the extremities, etc. Means you should take a break for awhile.

This isn't the same thing as mixing crack and heroin in a speedball, those two drugs are dopaminergic (heroin increasing intrasynaptic dopamine concentrations while cocaine blocks the reuptake- not good).

I'm 13 and also take 54mg of concerta and about 2 days ago I smoked 1 green bowl and as soon as I did I knew something was wrong so I layed down and when I sat up I started hallucinating it lasted for about 3-4 hours the next day I still didn't feel right but today I feel fine

There are also studies that prove cocaine apparently is good for you on google. Stop reading everything on the internet and think its real.

When I greened out I don't remember this but apparently I threw up all over myself then hit the ground pretty hard according to my friends and then I remember gaining conciseness again and then I couldn't stand for more then 10 seconds without getting dizzy and lightheaded then passing out.

I’m 16 as well and I am currently taking concerta 36 mg and a few months ago I had smoked and just felt extreme nausious and went home and slept immediately to get rid of the feeling and I haven’t ever been able to think the same since I became so paranoid I just kept thinking and now it’s 3 months later and I google symptoms and find out I have depersonalization. I thought something was wrong with me but now I’m happy to know that it was just all in my head which means I can get over this. I thought I was the only one so thank you!

Hi. I’m adhd adult use 54 Concerts.
Was using weed before I got medication.
Late life diagnoses- struggled till then but weed did help.
Occasionally smoked while taking concerta.
Until last autumn.
Then it all went wrong.
I was hyper like crazy from a non intense strain of weed.
Paranoid, delusional, ruined Xmas, by looking for listening devices.
Questioned every detail of my life.
Where my kids my own kids?
Is everyone st work stalking me?
Changed jobs...
Will the house get broken into while I’m away- get camera.
Etc etc etc.
Emphatically don’t smoke weed with concerta. It’s the worst.
Really messes your head up.
Slowly I’m climbing out of the hole I’ve made.
I feel untrustworthy.
I feel /felt suicidal.
Nothing is worth me or my time.
Facts and logic help so does cbt rest and eating properly.
Focus on the important and try to shut out the brain squatter that is causing my gp to consider schizophrenia.
This was never the case before I was hyper and bouncy bit out of control but weed helped to chill.
Then got on Concerta prescribed and my advice on hind site is don’t mix them.
Concerts and weed/tobacco not good mix.
It could be the tobbzcco nade the diff.
I had previously only smoked neat weed.
Don’t mix ur drugs.
Your reward circuit is at risk.
Be careful.
Health is everything.
Stay safe.
Street dealers do not know more than gps and psychologists.
Listen to the professionals or you may not get the help after an episode or worse lose your prescription.
Pay atttntion to your reward circuit
Exercise is better than smoking.
Be happy not paranoid.
Best wishes to all.
It’s one or the other.

Man honestly a lot of these people don't know what they are talking about and being biased af. Honestly what happened to you is a bad chemical reaction for sure, and yes you should maybe take it down a notch. Ive been taking adhd meds for years and smoking pot every day, I've had incidents like this but you have to take one thing in mind; weed makes you stressed, nervous, anxious, the reason you might still feel this way can be just a product of your imagination or a placebo... I recommend that the next time you smoke you breath deeply and tell yourself why you decide to smoke (to calm you down, make you feel the opposite of what you are feeling), tell yourself you're not on the med anymore... this will help.

This happens to a lot of people and it happened to me after taking adderall the longer you go the more normal you will feel try to take a t break and eat healthy for 2 weeks let your brain reset get good sleep

Hi there. I am 49 years old and smoke pot on occasion. My 14 1/2 yr boy old has been diagonsed with ADHD, anxiety, can't fall asleep at night til 2-4am and has just recently been provided with a prescription for generic Concerta. He will start tomorrow. We have a good relationship...he is telling me the truth although I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't the whole truth. He says he started smoking a few months ago a few times per week. He says it helps him a lot. It calms him so he could fall asleep. I took all his pot and paraphenalia but he really wants to be able to smoke at night to fall asleep. I don't know what to do...this is just part of it. My wife and I have spent a lot of time in the past week doing research and met with Dr Duggan in Long Beach twice (once with my son) and today we went to his pediatrician. Next we meet with a therapist and start working a plan. BUT, my gut tells me pot is a good starting point on the drug side of things...he's already been using it. I myself can perform well in sports, conversation, manual labor, etc. while on it. I wish I could take you out to lunch with my son to learn more from you who seem to have lots of good messages that I agree with...I know, not too scientific...

Keep your head up! I wonder if you'll ever see this post, it's been a year. Your in your sophomore summer! How are things? Did you stay on Concerta? I've been on just about every pill in the ADHD "world of medicine". There are options out there, options that are much less intense. Honestly, when you cut back on smoking it all gets better. You're smart enough to seek advice. The less you smoke, the more time you can invest in yourself. Being young is a gift, you can literally still do anything you want. But have fun, done stop all together if you can balance life and work, you have to be careful. Don't let a day go by without challenging yourself.


Oh yeah, talk to your doctor, not your parents. They aren't taking the pills, you are.

You're going to be fine. Really, relax. Just don't do it again
