Concerta and Anxiety

[emtchick]

I just started taking Concerta, 36 mg. I had been on Adderall, but had NO appetite, and lost a ton of weight.

Now, I like Concerta. My appetite is fine, and I feel alert and able to focus, not in a fog.

BUT, I seem to have an increase in anxiety. I am pretty anxious in general, but not enough I was willing to medicate for it.

I need the Concerta to focus for school, but I don't like the anxiousness. Has anyone tried an anti-anxiety med along with Concerta? Did it work?

I DON'T want anti-depressants--I had tried (in the past) Zoloft and Effexor and they made me feel suicidal and worse than I had origionally. So, no, not those.

*sigh* Having just one problem would be way too easy, wouldn't it?
