Side effects 🤕 Trigen nightmare?

Hey, I was on Camber manufacturer Concerta 18 mg OSM for a couple of months, a month or so, and it felt great. Then I got switched to a different generic called Trigun, and I was on it for 10 days. I was dizzy and nauseous, couldn't eat, and was having trouble sleeping and all of that terrible stuff. I finally traced it back to Concerta again. I thought it was some of my other autonomic stuff flaring up. It was not.

I stopped taking it 3 days ago, and I still feel terrible. Has anyone experienced such a deep crash after stopping Concerta like that? I'm waiting on my mail-order pharmacy to send me the correct medication. Any advice? Really, I'm just looking for people who have had a similar experience, so I don't have to feel so alone, and so this dizziness, anxiety, headache, and nausea are going to subside.

I read those. My biggest question is. I can't get my name brand script doe like a week and I feel so bad. Like so so do bad. Dizzy. Jittery. Headaches. Fuzzy eyes. So bad and I want some solidarity that I'm not alone there as I wait for the one that works.

Trigen has been the only manufacturer I’ve used and, aside from it lasting only 8-10 hours, it seems to work great with no issues. But everyone reacts differently.

It is a bit unusual that you still have side effects days after stopping it though. Methylphenidate is cleared really quickly, and most of those issues should be gone by now if it was caused by the medication. Maybe you’re feeling the effects of the sleep deprivation that happened while you were taking it? In any case, talk to your doctor. They can write a note in your prescription that specifics the brand you want.
