Question Problems when you skip a day?

I've been taking two 18 mg Concerta mouse turd pills for a few days now. I'm not sure the dose is high enough, and was only prescribed 18, which doesn't do much of anything. Well, today, I decided to just not take any Concerta, but I feel like I'm all itchy or something. Kind of like that restless/itchy skin feeling you get when you go through withdrawal on certain meds. It's hard to describe. It's mostly an exaggerated restlessness. Otherwise I have no other problems.

Any ideas or experience with this?

No, I'm on the same dose as you and when I let my meds run out and had to skip a day, I was anxious and irritable and spacey but not itchy. Everyone is different though, so you probably should mention it to you doctor.

I never really have withdrawal symptoms of any kind when I choose to skip a day except that I am largely back to my old self (paralyzed, unproductive, impulsive, interjective, etc.) Some very mild fatigue, but nothing that I can't fight back against with enough gumption.
