Methyphenidate withdrawal
Hey all!
I've been more of a lurker here than anything but the time has come for me to post.
Is there anyone out there that can give me some tips on how to deal with Concerta (methylphenidate) withdrawal? I've been on a form of a.d.d medication for half of my life and I've currently run out while on vacation. It's going on three weeks since my last dosage and it seems to be becoming more troublesome as the time goes on. You know the deal; things you wouldn't have noticed before are a complete nuisance, there's no hope of me focusing on a single thought (let alone a conversation), my mood is incredibly low (which I've turned to alcohol to cope with.. I know).
ANY solutions would be appreciated immensely.
