Concerta Advice?

Hey guys I wanted to get some advice I know theres some ADD veterans among us that probably have a lot of information to give.

Originally I was on straterra for about 2 months and I think with any medication there were some things that I liked and some things that I didn't. Unforunately the side effects were to bad for me to continue. Now i'm on concerta and have been for 2 months. I tried 18mg and it helped but not as much as I hoped it would so my doctor adviced me to go to the 36mg dose.

I feel like it's just to much. I have a constant anxiety as if i drank 15 cups of coffee. I can't stand still, I always have to move, very edgy like I just dont really care, I'm constantly having to take deep breaths in the hopes that it calms my overly anxious stomach. It's as if I went from being ADD the inatentive type which is what I was diagnosed with to the very hyperactive type.

At 18mg there was some benefits and at 36mg I feel like I am converting back to my serious ADD ways but in hyperactive mode. Plus I dont know how anyone can get addictid to this stuff it just makes me feel so damn wierd.

As anyone had these similar reactions and if so what medication did you try and succeed with? I'm thinking about trying Adderal... Anyone have success going from concerta to Adderal...

Well as you can tell i'm rambiling away I am just hoping to get some peoples opinions... So please drop a line

*edit* I've seen that people that get no headaches with concerta get headaches with Adderal and visa versa any truth to this? Because thats the one thing that I do like about concerta no side effects atleast for me.
