Does Adderall or Concerta cause mood swings and irritability often?
My dosage of concerta got bumped upto 36mg and today was emotionally the worst day of my life. I am a very happy and jittery kind of person, but today it changed.
I started the day out normal, then around 10am I randomly started getting thoughts of wanting to be dead and hating life. I was on the brink of crying for so long.....I was getting in such bad shape that I left my class 2 hours before I was supposed to and went to my car to start crying over nothing. I talked to my doctor and she got me off, my sadness has turned into irritability and anger for the most part right now. I came home and flushed the pills and then started raging at my family, and they know I'm on the brink of punching somebody in the face....so they're going easy on me. I feel 10% better, and I'm drinking liters of water to try to get this stuff out of my system....but it could take a few days. I've been on concerta for 3 weeks....with 36mg started a couple days ago. |

Re: Does Adderall or Concerta cause mood swings and irritability often?
I get irritability and mood swings on adderall. Most of the time it manifests itself as irritability. Sometimes i'll be pro-social (mostly when "coming up" on the med), other times I'll have zero desire to socialize. If I'm bored and not doing anything productive, I can become quite irritable. I don't get depressed on it, oftentimes I can get anxious though.

Re: Does Adderall or Concerta cause mood swings and irritability often?
I've only been on adderall IR for a month, 3 weeks at 10mg 2x a day and the last 3 days 20mg 4x per day. Adderall totally relaxes me mentally, it quiets my mind down so that I can focus on a task at hand instead of focusing poorly on many different things. It also seems to help with hyperfocus and some other issues that are a bit unique to me. That said, I had horrible mood / depression and highly intensified other negative issues when the adderall wore off (about 5 hours after the dose) when I was taking it 2x a day. Since my doc upped the dose and the frequency I have not had those issues unless I forget to take a dose on time. Although its only been 3 days, so next month I may write a post *****ing about how much I hate the medication...who knows.

I know that if you are bipolar, Adderall can induce mania. It can also give you a uphoric since of self and give you that "high" feeling. I have not had any of those experiences (I am bipolar) but I do know of people that have had that happen to them.
Your symptoms could be a sign that Adderall is not the right med for you. If you have no other diagnosis, you may want to talk to your pdoc about what is going on. He/she may change meds.
