Med Summary

Here’s what I’ve tried so far and my experience, I also have hyperhidrosis.

18mg ER Methylphenidate Concerta: could definitely feel it working but by afternoon I was DRENCHED in sweat and pissed at everyone. Not eating makes it worse but I had zero appetite so that wasn’t helpful. Everyone got on my nerves, everything anyone said set me off.

10mg ER Methylphenidate Ritalin: started out with a 10 day prescription and didn’t have the anger from the 18mg so I got a full month. Still have the sweating but not as bad. Realized by the end of the month prescription that it’s causing bad skin reaction due to exacerbating my hyperhidrosis. And I feel as though it’s not working as well as it was at the beginning of the month. Taking it around 7am, and I still get that switch flip feeling in the morning where I feel like I should get up and be productive but by noon time I feel like it’s worn off and I have no motivation to do anything productive.

Doctor told me I could try Wellbutrin but haven’t tried it yet due to the long amount of time it takes to reach peak effects. Can someone let me know the other meds they’ve tried? I remember my doctor mentioning one other one but I’d like to look at my other options. Thank you!
