Okay Back in the day when i was in high school I was taking concerta (along with other things like depakote and effexor) The dose i was taking was 54mg which is what i needed to stay focus in school and pass and graduate.. OKay so after high school i didn't need it. So I stop taking it. Then I started to take the 24mg dosage or some ****.. and that was to low then i went up to 54mg way to high.. Then i went to 36mg which is good.. Well i got pregnant. and i had to stop taking all the meds which is fine.. Ohh well right.. Well i started to take my concerta again cuz i wanted to get forcus on my life.. Well then the side affects of take the concerta started to kick in
IT like being on speed but not to the extreme.. I still get the side affects
I started to smoke again
I dont eat much but i can still eat
I want to do something but then i dont' want to move.
My mind is racing i can' organize my thought..
I want to smoke weed but i know that wont help
I hate this feeling
I wanted to go up a dose
but those side affect will get worse
Like no eating no sleeping no and all queit.. so what do you think
I have no idea.. i am just thinking so many random thought..

Sounds like maybe your metabolism has changed since having the baby. You might want to see the doctor before trying any stimulants again.

C~F is recommending that you see the doctor. Also, she said that your metabolism isn't the same since having the baby.

What dose do you take? I ask only because a slight decrease for now may be something that helps for now. They offer some flexibility in doses so maybe you should ask for the lowest dose and maybe second lowest and see if any of those combos together dosage-wise would provide you with symptom relief without making you jacked up. I believe Concerta comes in 18,27,36 and 54 mg doses so maybe there's room for improvement without having to discontinue
