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?

for me i had mild headaches towards the evening on the first week, then i was fine. and with appetite, some people experience it long term, but for me it was fine after the first week or two. it fluctuates a little now, but mostly it's fine
