I was wondering if any one has mood swings
like me and what do you do for it I
changed from ritalin to concerta 36mg er
tablets to see if it helped with the ups
and downs and it did as far as I dont have
them during the day but after about ten to
twelve hours after taking the meds I come
down off it and I can get real grumpy
sometimes and I was wondering what could
help with this I have taken one of my
leftover ritalin pills and it seems to
help so any help would be great

There is too little information to give
you an opinion as to what might be going
wrong. The first step is to have a
diagnosis, and exclude the possibility of
bipolar disorder or any other problem.
It may be worth you while to study the
connection between hypoglycemia with
mental illness and this will also you give
you some simple non-drug treatments to try
out. The hypoglycemic diet may even out
mood swings and is explained in
Please, don 't ask me dumb - dumb
questions like that in the future ! You
want to be a fool then do it & don 't
get any of the caring people world
involved in your craziness anymore in the
in the future ! And stay off the road
don 't want you to poison yourself by self
- medicating and get in the car and kill a
nice family of 5 ! Things like that were
experiments for some of us when we were
baby teenagers but you are peter pan now
aren 't you ?

How many times do you need to be asked not
to insult people? This person is not
self-medicating! When you switch pills
you have to go through your doctor as they
are rx only. Well, you don't have to,
but I am sure that this person did.
Please stop being mean.

Bobbyk,
i don't think that taking the odd leftover
tablet is likely (in general although
there are exceptrions) to hurt but nor is
it actually likely to solve your
problem.
Mood swings - food, lack of exercise (or
inappropriate exercise), doing or watching
or reading things that depress you (so do,
watch read things that don't upset you).
Aside from the above some solutions : ces
machine dynamind.Com sound & light
machine dynamind.Com, cbt, natural
supplements like 5htp, valerian, sam-e,
dhea, gingko, st johns wort.
