concerta?
I was at my psychiatrist's office today and I was reading a pamphlet about Concerta and it says it can be habit-forming. Does that mean you can get high from it like Adderall? I used to abuse Adderall by stealing my sister's pills after her doctor took her off it and I loved the high I got from it but now I don't have any more an I wondered if Concerta had similar effects because I'm not sure if I could get an rx since I'm 24. Besides getting high the Adderall helped me a lot with my creativity; I wrote some really good poetry while on it and made some pretty decent paintings as well. It also helped me be more active during the day so I was able to get a lot more things done; especially while I was in college.

I also wondered if anyone on here is bipolar and on Adderall; supposedly you can't take ADD meds if you're bp.

I'm currently on Lamictal and Zoloft for bipolar disorder and anxiety disorder.

I am bipolar and perscribed Adderall, but that's because they misdiagnosed me earlier and by the time they figured it out I was already addicted.

I, too, am bipolar and on adderall.
Concerta is not like adderall. It was the first ADD medication I was given, and I had tried adderall before when my ex bf gave me some of his. It does not have the some euphoria that comes with adderall, although it did keep me awake. I have heard of some people experiancing a high with concerta, however, that has never been the case for me.
