Default Concerta

I was diagnosed with ADD about a month ago. My Doc started me out on Strattera, and I went through a huge state of Depression and Thoughts of suicide. Not to mention im already on Accutane for my face, that is also a depressant. While on Strattera, I always felt like I was going to throw up, and did every now and then. I stopped taking it after about two weeks, and went back to my doctor. He then perscribed me to Concerta (2 18mg pills a day). I have been on it for about a week, and I still have a lack of concentration. Am I just some hopeless human being that needs to comite suicide? Or is there anything out there that will help me?

You need to get back to your doctor right away.There is all kinds of medication out there.Remember that when you start taking an anti-depressant it can take 4-6 weeks to get the full benefit from the drug.Hang in there, there is help out there........Dave
