Is anyone on Concerta?

I'm 14 years old and going into high school on September 7th.
I'm supposed to start Concerta for ADD soon (I enjoy a doctor's appointment tomorrow).
I'm kinda scared of all the side effects:

I've pretty much decided I should embezzle it, though.
Is anyone else on it? What are you experiences with it?
TIA for answers/reading this. :]
Answers:
I'm 13 and on concerta. I started taking it about 4 years ago. you may lose your appetite for about a month, so drink equate nutritional drinks or pediasure. it help. I was 20 pounds overweight, and I lost 20 pounds in 3 weeks! You get put money on on track with your eating pretty fast though. So don't verbs. If you're a chatterbox, people will notice that you are calmer, approaching me. if you also have a short attention span, or cant focus for long, concerta will help that too. By the way, it may see in pretty quick. But you'll do better in academy! Trust me! Those side effects are pretty overwheming, huh? The ones you likely will experience are headaches, loss of appetite, sleeplessness, stomachaches, drwsiness, and dizziness. The others are pretty much the very singular ones. dont worry.

I have 3 children on concerta. So far they haven't have any side effects. It helps them control themselves alot. Just remember, when you start a new medication, it can make you surface different for a little while until your body gets use to it. Make sure you pay attention to how it make you feel. If it doesn't work for you, there are other medications that your doctor can confer you. Good Luck!
