Can 36 Mg Of Concerta For ADHD Cause Nervousness And Depression?

I was on 18mg of Concerta for ADHD and doing well but it did not last long enough so my doctor suggested we try 36 mg. I have been taking for about 11 days and feeling nervous and some depression, a little tearful. I am 53, male. Should I ask to be switched back to 18 mg before the month supply is used?

greetings,
you only said that with 18 mg it was not lasting hence you started with 36mg. now in order to get adjusted to this dose you need to give some time.
hope this helps.
in case even after giving a month or so you dont feel adjusted then you can contact your doctor for any changes.
hope this helps.
