Hi
Thanks for the query.

The symptoms you are experiencing are actually the adverse effects of the concerta which cause headache, anxiety, dizziness and palpitations. These symptoms do occurs at the initial phase but as you adjust with the drug after sometime the symptoms will resolve spontaneously and the adverse effects will overcome.

If you still have some query, feel free to ask.

Thanks
Regards
