Concerta Crash was one of the main reasons I decided meds are not for me. Made it to 40 without knowing I had ADD. Then realized as much as meds helped with work they didn't help with the RSD and emotional regulation and when I crashed every night I was a goddamn wreck
It’s really wild the amount of shit that most providers DON’T tell or make clear to people
For instance, this is the first time I’ve seen the term “Concerta Crash”; I’m in my late 30s; I took concerta from about 10 until about a month ago (though I was off meds completely for over a decade until the Rona times), and started Vyvanse last month.
Damn and I learned about concerta Crash almost immediately because I was an emotional wreck once it wore off like I'm a grown ass dude and I was weeping every night as the emotions came flowing back in droves.
Maybe if I knew I was ADD as a kid and had the tools to manage it better things would be different but nah. I was never told how to manage as a kid just always loud and disruptive and always my fault.
I make damn good money but at the same time Jesus Christ I'm self destructive outside of my professional career. ADD Drugs may help but at 48 I am not going to risk that journey again. I actually found regular exercise helps a lot
