> Mind u i barely fell into depression about 2 years ago. I was overwhelemd by 4 family/business things that i saved but it took its toll on me and i was completely wasted. Although my family thinks i am now being lazy and not working to potential which is true.

> I am on concerta 54 mg and it gives me a initial buzz of nervousness and a small concentraion. (I take it with my 300 mgs of wellbutrin whic really does nothing more than make me feel not depressed) then i am nervous and I get a slight headached and my temples hurt if i dont drink enough water.

> Around 6-8 hours into it i feel much better. But before, this is also making me less social and less willing to talk on the fone.

> It helps me concentrate on things for like 10 min interims hten i can daydream or REALLY FOCUS on something on tv and sort of PLAN to do something more than i use to be able to PLAN. i dont get tunnell vision and i dont find myself focusing more.

> if i eat i am a lil less nervous but it doesnt really help.

> i find i can waste the day away... i use to be on effexor and that sort of helped me for a while but i found it too made me feel it was fine loafing and putting htings way off.
