Would it be inappropriate for me to call my doc on Monday and tell him it's not doing much? It's only been a few days of taking the Concerta, but it's not like an AD, which takes a while to kick-in. You know right away as to whether or not you have much of a stimulating effect. I don't want to constantly bother him with concerns and making new appointments in between my scheduled ones, but this is a real issue of mine, even though it's not life or death.
He does know that I'm having some big problems with school, and he was very concerned for me, so it is apparent that something I need to be worried about immediately, since I only have a few weeks left of the semester. I can't crash and burn now. I need a jump-start, not maintaining my previous condition.
I've even been taking my Provigil when I wake up, which I'm not supposed to do. I only have a few more left though and although I have refills, I think my issurance would turn it down without authorization from my doctor.
I just took another 18 mg pill right now, which brings me up to 54 mg. I neeeed to study tonight since I have a lot of catching up to do. I feel bad about experimenting and being a patient with constant needs, but I'm trying to get things right for myself. Thankfully, even when I do make mistakes or experiment, he doesn't get upset. He actually uses that as a guide to make a new plan.
