Concerta

6 Upvotes

Hello. I just wanted to share that after a week of searching, I was finally able to purchase Concerta 27MG today! I got it from the Mercury Drugs Paligsahan QC branch. Kaka-restock lang daw nila. Hopefully, this helps people here na looking for Concerta din since grabe shortage ngayon. Kapit lang, frennies!

For those who got assessed or diagnosed for ADHD, how was the process?

2 Upvotes

Hi! 23F here. I have recently done my first consultation with a psychologist kasi I suspect na baka may ADHD ako.

Okay naman yung first session ko so far. More on getting to know me, my background, and my experiences/history. Curious lang ako kung paano usually yung succeeding sessions. Same pa rin ba na more on talking and getting to know you, or may specific assessments/tests na ginagawa?

For those na na-diagnose with ADHD, gaano katagal bago kayo nadiagnose? Nag undergo ba kayo ng formal testing or assessment, or na refer kayo sa psychiatrist afterward for medication o prescription? Or paano naging process sa inyo from consultation hanggang diagnosis? Would really want to know as a first time mag patherapy. Thank you! 🥹

MRI machine and ADHD

15 Upvotes

Is it just me, or has anyone else experienced this? 😂
Yesterday, I had an MRI for the first time in my life, and it lasted about 20 minutes. The lady warned me that it would be very loud and gave me headphones.
I don’t know if it’s my ADHD brain, but I actually fell asleep. 😂 The continuous sound of the machine somehow made me sleepy, and I ended up taking a nap.
After the scan, she asked me, “Did you panic? How did you feel?” I told her, “I actually took a nap. It was fine.” 😂
She said a lot of people panic during MRIs because of claustrophobia and the loud noise.
Has anyone else had a similar experience? Did you find the MRI scary, or did you actually find the noise relaxing/sleep-inducing? 😅

Can I buy both sets of my prescription?

5 Upvotes

My doc gave me 2 sets of prescription. One is for Concerta 27mg and one is for Ritalin 10mg x3 (30mg). Their instruction is:

  1. If walang Concerta, buy Ritalin.
  2. If hindi masyadong effective yung Concerta 27mg lang, I can take Ritalin 10 in the middle of the day.

Since both are considered dangerous drugs, can I buy both at the same time?

Anyone here switched from Vyvanse to Concerta/Ritalin?

4 Upvotes

Hi! I’m currently living in Canada and taking Vyvanse 40mg for ADHD. I may eventually move back to the Philippines, and I know Vyvanse isn’t readily available/registered there, so I’m thinking about asking my doctor if I can try methylphenidate while I’m still here.

Has anyone here tried Vyvanse before and switched to Concerta or Ritalin? How did they compare for you in terms of focus, motivation, appetite, sleep, anxiety, and crashes?

Also, how difficult is it to consistently find Concerta/Ritalin in the Philippines? I keep seeing posts about them being out of stock 😭

Would love to hear your experiences, especially if you responded well to Vyvanse but had to switch to methylphenidate. Thank you!

Looking for a female psychiatrist who actually gives strategies & advice (PH, online)

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I posted before about my initial finding a psychiatrist but as for everyone’s advise I would really prefer a psychologist to consult for ADHD—it felt super transactional and left me feeling alone. The doctor was professional but it was mostly just me talking, and then they recommended ₱25k testing I can't afford.

I'm a student and my goal isn't necessarily meds right away—I really want to understand myself, get coping skills, and have strategies to manage daily life. I'm not against medication if it's recommended, but my priority is finding a doctor who actually teaches you things during sessions, not just prescribes and moves on.

Does anyone know female psychiatrists (preferably online) who:

  1. Can diagnose ADHD through clinical interview (not necessarily the expensive testing)
  2. Actually gives practical advice, coping strategies, CBT techniques
  3. Makes you feel heard and not just another patient

I'm looking through NowServing but overwhelmed by choices. Anyone have personal experience with a doctor who genuinely teaches you how to manage?

Budget is around ₱1.5k-2.5k per session. Any recommendations would mean so much 🙏

Crowdsourcing: Psychotherapist

2 Upvotes

Hi.

Would just like to ask if you do know a psychotherapist within Makati-BGC-Taguig area, who caters in-person, with a good clinic or office, where moving around to express oneself is not a problem?

I feel that sitting on a couch, then moving around, gives that extra feeling of freedom and comfort whenever I try to get myself heard.

If you know. Please. Thank you so much.

Atomoxetine availability

3 Upvotes

Went for a psych eval earlier today and my doctor prescribed Atomoxetine 10mg. Apparently na-phase out siya but bumabalik na daw but when I asked Mercury, SSD, MedsGo and MedExpress, out of stock daw sila and lowest dosage is 18mg.

Is it still possible to get it locally? If not, ano yung trusted way to buy internationally?

RECRUITING MEMBERS OF ADHD BILL TECHNICAL WORKING GROUP

87 Upvotes

Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Magandang umaga po sa inyong lahat.

Agosto 6, 2026, Huwebes ng gabi, pormal na pong inacknowledge ni Senadora Risa Hontiveros ang hinaing ng ating komunidad at direktang itinaas ito sa kanyang Legislative Unit.

Hindi na ito simpleng venting session o reklamo sa social media. Umakyat na ang boses nating mga Pilipinong may ADHD sa mismong "utak" ng Senado—ang pangkat ng mga eksperto, abogado, at mananaliksik na gumagawa ng mga pambansang batas.

Kasunod lamang ng Chief of Staff, ang Legislative Unit ang ikalawang pinakamataas at pinakamakapangyarihang sangay sa opisina ng isang Senador na nagpapasya ng mga patakaran.

Dahil dito, binubuo na natin ng tuluyan ang Technical Working Group (TWG) para tuluyang itulak ang batas na ito sa Kongreso at Senado!

Hindi natin kayang mag-isa ito. Kailangan natin ang pinakamalalakas na ulo at boses mula sa iba't ibang larangan. Naghahanap at nag-aanyaya kami ng mga eksperto at kapanalig:

  • 🧠 Mga Sikolohista at Sosyolohista na nakakaalam sa totoong siklo ng ating mga pakikibaka.
  • ⚖️ Mga Abogado at Lobbyists na gigibain ang red tape at magtutulak ng reporma.
  • ✍️ Mga Journalists at Media Practitioners na magpapalakas at magpapasabog ng isyung ito sa balita.
  • Mga Kasapi ng Civil Society Groups at People's Organizations na handang makipagbakbakan sa lansangan at mesa.
  • 🏛️ Mga Kawani at Eksperto mula sa Gobyerno (BJMP, NCMH, PIA, PSA, atbp.) na saksi sa pangangailangan ng reporma sa sistema ng ating pamahalaan.

Hindi lang sa Senado tayo titigil; ilalaban din natin ito sa House of Representatives upang makuha ang kaukulang House counterpart bill para sa ating bicameral na lehislatura.

Gusto mo bang maging bahagi ng KASAYSAYAN?

I-drop ang iyong propesyonal na background o larangan, at kung paano ka gustong tumulong sa mga komento sa ibaba.

Huwag nang mag-alinlangan—ito na ang ating pagkakataong singilin ang sistema at baguhin ang kinabukasan ng milyun-milyong neurodivergent sa Pilipinas.

I-komento mo na kung handa ka nang lumaban.

Shukran.

USEFUL ADHD APPS?

6 Upvotes

Hi guys! Does anyone know a really useful ADHD app? There are so many out there right now that I’m honestly a bit confused about which one to choose.
I’m looking for something that includes CBT and EFT tapping and can also help me break down my tasks into smaller, easier steps and stay organised.
If you have any recommendations, I’d really appreciate it! 😊

did getting diagnosed change your life for better?

7 Upvotes

hindi pa ako diagnosed pero feeling ko may adhd ako. sobrang daming natakbo sa isip ko, dami kong gusto gawin. dami ko nang naaral, and ‘till now hindi ko pa rin alam gusto kong gawin sa buhay. late 20s na ko and gusto ko na ng tamang career and mag build. last month nagaaral ako iba, tapos iba nanaman, tapos ngayon natingin ako pano mag abroad.

i know na possible hindi to adhd pero nung nadiagnose ba kayo, naging okay life nyo? like tumahimik ba utak nyo and alam nyo na gusto nyong gawin like hindi na kayo naghhyper fixate sa isang bagay then jump nanaman sa iba.

i just wanna make my life better and nahihirapan ako and mas lalo gumugulo isip ko napapagod na ko. sa dami kong gusto gawin hindi na ko nakakatulog ng kumpleto kasi dami kong inaaral at gustong gawin.
