    I just found I was ADD inattentive and have been taking Concerta for the past week. I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with this medication? How did it affect their life, poker game?

    Yes I realize that, I was wondering more about some of the side effects people experienced other than being able to focus better.

    The side effects will be similar to any CNS stimulant:

    - nervousness
    - insomnia
    - decreased appetite/anorexia
    - headache
    - abdominal pain
    - etc

    Most of the side effects will go away within the first few days of use. I wouldn't take it at night.

    As far as poker, let me know how that works out for you.

    Ya. the spread gun is the best imo and the Flame is the worst. Also jump alot and you will avoid any sort of projectile. Hope this helps
