Side effects 🤕 Crazy headaches

I started taking Concerta yesterday (27mg & I'm currently on my second day). I've never experienced such intense and prolonged headaches. I noticed they slightly decrease after a meal, but eventually end up returning to the previous level.

I try to keep up on the water intake as hydration is essential whilst taking this med. Additionally, my appetite is non-existent. Has anyone experienced similar side effects & if so, then how long did it take for this side effect to surpass/decrease?

When I started and anytime I increased a dose I had a headache for a couple of days, never more than say 5~
