My First Full Week on 36mg Concerta XL - Well, this is life-changing...!

Hi there! I'm Emily and I had a late diagnosis of Inattentive ADD (a type of ADHD) just two months after my 30th birthday. Finding out I was neurodivergent was scary and exciting, but now I'm ready to start treatment! In this video, I start to vlog my fourth week on Concerta, with this being my first full week on a 36mg dose talking about my side effects, benefits and improvements. I had an amazing week, and I honestly am overwhelmed by how much more energy, motivation and focus I have. Hopefully this isn't a placebo effect, but we will see! You can also see me realising that my rejection sensitive dysphoria may have led me to depression/depressive symptoms, and that set-backs don't have to be catastrophic - I can cope with failure! Concerta XL is a prolonged/slow/long release stimulant medication (its scientific name is methylphenidate!) used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This medication is sometimes called Ritalin, Daytrana or Focalin - particularly in the US. Other ADHD medications that you might be familiar with are Vyvanse, Dexadrine and Adderall, which are amphetamines, rather than methylphenidates, however, they are all stimulants. This video shows my 5th week on the drug and highlights some of its effects on my mind, mood and body. I will be continuing a vlog showing my experience with ConcertaXL as I test out my current dose and through the titration period. (Started on 18mg, now taking 36mg). Whether you're considering starting Concerta XL, have already begun treatment, are curious about ADHD and its links to depression, or are simply looking for some reassurance that you're not alone, this video is for you. Be sure to say hi in the comments - I'd love to make some new friends in the neurodivergence community, and don't forget to like, share and subscribe for more videos on mental health, ADHD, and related topics!
