In reply to Nervous about Concerta/Adderall, posted by stresser on May 10, 2005, at 13:32:44
> After reading the previous posts, I am getting a bit nervous about taking medication for ADD. I didn't realise that it ages your body faster, or is that not true? I am finding that the Adderall XR is working well for me, but I don't want to continue to take it if it is going to age my body faster than normal. -L
It just seems logical, but may not be true. I do know I've had some horrible nervous anxiety since stopping Concerta a week ago. I was just taking 18mg, so there is really no smaller dose to taper to. It's weird, it's kind of like a long term crash that I didn't expect coming off such a small dose. I am going to try a low dose of Depakote ER starting tonight, so maybe that will put the brakes on this med induced anxiety.
