Adhd Meds (ritaline, concerta…) crash creates a fire in my head , I feel like at any moment out of rage I could do the worst things?

• I recently started taking adhd meds , i feel great , it seams i can be normal. There is just some problems :
• 1. I never felt so lonely ( before I felt lonely but I was protected in my head , I would speek to myself ) Since i’ve taken meds i still am able to speak to myself but since meds made my internal monologue calmer it’s like if There was no more protectio. I am plain lonely , no friends , no one to speak to only Blank. I can’t even make myself cry not because of meds but because it won’t drip.
• 2. When meds crash every sensations around me (hearing mostly ) makes me tic , i feel like if someone shouted , or argued i would get in rage. But I am unable to act on it because no executive functions.

I’m currently on Concerta. You need to talk with your psychiatrist or doctor about these symptoms, because it might not be the right dosage or medication for you.


When off/crashing on ADHD meds, it can cause irritability, anxiety, and aggression as a side affect. You should read the common side affects on these medications because many people deal with that too. You need to find the right dosage for you, because it seems like you are on too high of a dose. You need to bring these up with the doctor ASAP.


ADHD meds are supposed to calm down your internal dialogue or slow down your thoughts, so that is normal. But, another common side affect is emotional numbness. The emotions numbness happens if you are on too high of a dose. Again, talk with your doctor about this ASAP. They should lower the dosage.
