How long should it take to fine-tune your dose?
Post Body

Been on Concerta since July, I'd like to think I've found my sweet spot with 36-46mg - Anything higher makes me feel unpleasant.

I'm struggling with the consistency of the medication, somedays its great, some days not so much (I will say that the good days far out number the bad days, but the bad days get really bad)

The crash is another thing that I'm worried about but Propanolol and a small IR Ritalin dose helps

I'm currently wearing a Haltor/Heart monitor so that my doctor can get a better idea of whats happening to my heart when I crash, if everything looks good he said that I can continue using Propanolol alongside Concerta/Ritalin

I was told not to take any of my boosters or Propanolol to get a better idea of the crash, and funnily enough... the crash isn't too bad today 🙃 - I'm wearing the monitor for another day so hopefully my doctor has enough data to make an informed decision.

I'm starting to feel a bit exhausted, I just want to take my pill and just move on with my life, 36mg feels like things have been most stable but I may go down to 27mg as the reason I was moved up to 36mg was because of the crash initially.
