Not focused on Concerta - hyped instead

I've been taking Concerta for a while now and waiting to get a higher dose now (because the meds are barely available in my country). The effects make me question if I have ADHD or just lied through the assessment. I also have diagnosed autism, depression and anxiety so it might be a mix of those instead and not ADHD.

But what are those effects? Well, I don't feel focused at all. Actually I feel more scattered and fidgety. Can't sit still more openly than ever. Instead I have more energy and am more outgoing. I'm also on pregabalin which could explain the outgoingness, although I've been taking it for a year now and only noticed huge changes after Concerta. I still don't have much motivation for stuff, but it's better since I can even walk the dog or watch a movie. Yet again, it could be just that it's spring again. Autistic meltdowns came back though.

So in short - more hyped, less anxious, but scattered. And it in turn makes me anxious that I don't actually have ADHD and instead get high regularly. I take 36mg since I felt like 18mg doesn't work at all. Maybe it's just too high?

My doctor thinks I should actually take a higher dose, maybe eventually even the 72mg.

I am not seeking medical advice here! I just wanted to ask if anyone experienced something like that as well and how it turned out for them. Should I be worried or not? I talked about it to my psych and that's why she prescribed a higher dose. So far she's been really good, but I am stressed out anyway.

It would be great if anyone with the same effects took the same meds as I so I can compare or at least had the same diagnoses.

Just to be sure: I am not planning to lower the dose, quit the meds, make any unauthorized changes or anything as such! I just want other people's perspective to calm my anxiety about it.

Hi, does anyone know which celebrities spoke out about witchcraft in any interview (Either positively or negatively)?

I wasn't sure where to ask thus question and only this subreddit came to mind, so if it's not related to witchcraft enough, please someone guide me to a better place to ask this, thank you.

I am most curious about Lady Gaga. Honestly it's because of her I'm writing this post, but it would be nice to know the views of people such as, I dunno, The Rock. I don't usually care much about celebrities, but know some enough to read about them if someone tells me which ones have anything to say lol

I was trying to search for anything on the internet regarding Lady Gaga, but can only find stuff about countless conspiracy theories around her and stuff about her song Abracadabra. I know she's a Christian, but doesn't practice much. Everyone thinks she's a satanist. People theorize she's a witch even without any proof. I wanted to find out if she herself spoke about witchcraft. Just out of curiosity I suppose.
