Hi everyone,

I just posted in the Concerta board about what effects I should be looking for with Concerta, but I'm curious to know if anyone has any feeling on whether or not monthly cycles affect their meds?

I've been a grouchamapotumus (We've made up our own language in my house - the suffix -amapotumous goes so well with just about everything. lol) for the past couple of days, have broken out, craving chocolate, etc. and of course I know why - it's close to that time again. However, coincidence or not, I've also noticed that the Concerta's effectiveness seems to have decreased, even though I was recently upped to 36 mg. In addition the Concerta 36 mg, I take Prozac 40 mg, Wellbutrin 150 mg, and Zyrtec on a daily basis.

Any thoughts?

Dani -

You may want to check on the Women w/ADD thread for more on this. I know everything goes wonky around cycle time for me, meds or no, and I know some women who say don't even bother to take them. And the "wonkiness" doesn't seem to vary w/the type of med you take.

Not what you wanted to hear, I'm sure, but at least that could point you in a helpful direction.
