Shortness of breath /lightheaded.. ekg normal and xray elias fine. i'm 21.. ever since new years i took concerta 54 not prescribed. been feeling this?

Dangerous: You are overdosing. The starting dose of Concerta is 18 mg, not 54. The dose should not be increased any more frequently than every 7 days. This is a potent medicine with potential for serious side effects including dangerous arrhythmias. I would have to suspect your symptoms are related.
