It sounds like it could be because you didn't eat much. I'd suggest seeing your doctor about it.

If you look solely at the food you ate, it is sugary, high in carbs. Not that it's a huge deal normally but your body is working overtime to metabolize your new meds. I really suggest you try to eat something more balanced...something to involve proteins. And I KNOW it's hard, my 9 year old nephew is ADD and has run the gamut on these types of meds and its torture to get him to eat., simply because he is not hungry.
Additionally, at 14 your body is going through a lot of growth and hormonal changes. All these factors come into play when trying to get your meds and health back on track. Try to cut back on overly sugary things. Drink plenty of water - that alone can mess you up if you're not getting enough.
Take care and good luck!

Hard to say. It could be from your new meds. You should speak to a doctor about that.
It could also be from not eating enough. I have low blood pressure and get dizzy when it's low, but I also can get dizzy, see stars and passout if I have not eaten enough. You definitely did not eat enough so maybe that was the problem.
You should also speak to your doctor about why you are not feeling hungry.

Okay, look - it is NOT true that you are more likely to do "heavier" drugs because you are on Concerta! That is ridiculous.
But it sounds like the new med is curbing your appetite and your blood sugar bottomed out - it happens to me occasionally, too. I take adderall for ADHD and sometimes I forget to eat, and sometimes I do have to make myself eat - so I know how that feels.

It could be the side affects of your new meds. Get it checked out with the doc.

it might be time to switch to a differnt drug, see your doctor who is perscribing the medicine, and explain this to him
