Holy hell what a difference.First time in a long time the fog has lifted.When I got the meds My Dr recommended 2 to 3 tabs every morning to gage how I felt.For the last week I've been talking 36mgs and today being My Friday I thought I would try 54mgs to see the difference.All I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cool!

I also experience a difference between 36mg and 54 mg, but I have a lot more trouble getting to sleep in 54 mg, so I'm backing down from it. My focus was good on 54, but too good. I had hyperfocus, getting lost in the details ....

But glad to hear about the good effect this had for you!!!!

I have been at 36 for a couple of month, it was not lasting long enough, about 6 hours. My doc gave me standard ritalin as a booster in the afternoon. I didn't like the rebound effect. Now it's been 3 weeks that I take only Concerta 54 mg, it last close to 12 hours and I don't feel any rebound. The only side effect I got was before lunch, at around 10h30, I felt a litte bit "buzzed". After a couple of days with that feeling, I found out why, and it was really stupid of me: I was hungry, I just needed a snack.

The increase to 54 mg also got me say WOW: gone is the impulsivity. 36 mg was not bad, I could concentrate, but it was just not enough.
