Should I go back on Concerta for adult ADD/ADHD or try some other meds

[Kim W]

Or should I take no meds at all. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Forget meds, they don't work. They just mask the symptoms. What you need to do is to change your diet. Try a Japanese diet, there is almost no ADHD in Japan. Eat lots of oily fish, the Omega 3 oil that they has been shown to help the brain. It improves concentration and helps to promote natural wellbeing. Also try increasing your intake of fresh fruit and vegetables. It might sound like hippie nonsense, but it really does work.

In Britain they conducted a trial in a prison where they changed the convicts diets and it reduced violence and bad behavior by between 50 and 75%. If it can help cons then it can help normal people, too.

If Concerta worked for you in the past, I don't see why it would be a bad idea to go back on it. Just be sure to watch your blood pressure because as an adult, these medications can raise blood pressure over time. Best of luck...

If Concerta was prescribed to you before and it helped, then you should have sticked to it in the first place. Otherwise, do not try any medication without doctor's advice.
