[Arsenic_X]

well today i took my full dose of concerta (72 mg) and im feeling very overstimulated. would melatonin work as a downer to counter this somewhat? im at work and its all i have on me currently.

Probably won't help. Melatonin is best used 2 - 3 hours before you plan on going to sleep, in my experience.

Melatonin is a poor sedative.

IME, getting really high on prescriptions such as concerta, adderall, etc is fun, but smoking pot is about the only thing I find that calms the over-stimulating feeling down to a manageable high.

Glad to hear it helped out some for you. That's the one thing about melatonin at least is that it's fairly benign. Since it sounds as though you are taking your medication for legitimate reasons I would recommend trying to get on a stable dose of your Concerta (Methylphenidate) that doesn't get you feeling that way in the first place.

Perhaps talk to your doctor about a dose change.

I'm glad such safe drug helps you, but for me it would have to be something stronger (unless a LOT of beer would be sufficient )
