Re: ADHD medication -

Hey there,
Some people are hesitant to take stimulants because of their potential for abuse and possible side effects. Some individuals report that they make them feel flat, emotionless, or robotic, while others report that they make them anxious, or, as you describe, unable to sleep. They tried me on stimulants when I was a kid, but they were never much good for me. I got off them and eventually started Strattera, which is an SNRI that can be used for the treatment of ADHD.
I can't give you any specific medical advice here, but I encourage you to talk to your doctor about the side effects you're experiencing with Concerta! They might be able to adjust your dosage or put you on a different med that doesn't keep you up.  It might be worth asking your doctor about some non-stimulant options for ADHD, like Strattera or Wellbutrin, if you find that stimulants are giving you too much trouble. Sometimes these medications can also help with depression.
I hope this helps a tiny bit! Sorry I can't be of more help!
All the best,
Kylie
