Hi all!

ive been wanting to make this post for awhile, but recently ive stopped taking medication for my ADHD and have done some experiments on myself. im currently prescribed Concerta 27 MG, and ive gone off of it for the past 2 weeks after being on it for 5 months just to see how i would act.

the first week it was like i was still taking it. still doing everything fine and good. the second week however, my emotions skyrocketed. i was crying about 3 times a day at little sad things, really happy at little happy things, and just all over the place.

i was then reminded that before i was prescribed medication, and im a 20 year old male btw, that was normal for me. i never noticed it until i took medication and then went off of it.

my question to you guys is am i alone on this? or does anybody else have exaggerated and intense emotions when not medicated? or even while medicated for that matter
