Concerta day 4 - a bit afraid of the weekend

As usual I took the pills about 8AM (2 pills of Concerta 36 mg)
Slowly slipped into productive mod and started clearing up the tasks from my list.

Seems that this med is here to stay. At least for now.

I am a bit concerned about the weekend with no meds.

Last time it was like this:


I had a great first day, normal in any way.
On a second day I got weird mood where I snap on every small thing. Mostly at my kids which supply many opportunities for frustration and irritation but I had responses that went too far. Like being angry on small stuff and reacting with raised voice, completely confusing the kids about the non proportional response.
I was ashamed of myself and felt bad and depressed about the whole situation.

Hopefully this will not happen this week. I think this time it might be different because on Concerta i had no rebound for the whole time so it might continue into long game too and I wold not  have the same problems this weekend.

Overall for now the med is working steadily seems that this day will be completely fine.

2 hours before the meds should stop working I got a sudden adrenaline rush. So fat it lasts almost half an hour.
Not sure if this is a direct response to Concerta or is it because I tried recording a video for work with me talking.
Usually I have no problem with presentations and I'm quite fluid. 
As a side note - I haven't slept well for 3 days, maybe its not a good idea mixing stimulants that make you feel ok when you should be tired but what can  I do really.

Hopefully this will not happen again.
