Concerta is an amphetamine derivative, which is a stimulant. Ambien is a hypnotic, used for sleep. Sometimes physicians will prescribe Ambien or another sleeping pill to help people sleep if they are on Concerta. You should consult your physician prior to taking any medications especially with mixing of medications.

You might want to talk to your physician about that because it can be very dangerous mixing meds with pills that arent approved by the FDA

is the bariatric clinic giving out diet pills good for you>?

Medical professionals at a bariatric clinic are under an obligation to provide you with advice and prescriptions with your health in mind. But you need to be careful when taking any diet pills, because many have later been found to be dangerous. Beware of pills that are loaded with amphetamine-type substances, like ephedra. Phentermine is a prescription diet pill that should be used with caution too. I would recommend discussing any diet pills with your regular family doctor first.


Are you able to take diet pills then quit taking without any sideffects?

I quit taking diet pills after about 4 years and I had a very hard time staying off them. I was used to the energy rush they gave me and without them I felt very sluggish.

Can you take Prozac and Concerta at the same time?

These 2 meds are in two completely different classes. Prozac is a SSRI (serotonin reuptake inhibitor) while Concerta is methylphenidate, a stimulant--acts on the dopamine in your brain. Concerta is essentially the same as Ritalin, only it's an extended release version. Prozac is used to treat depression/anxiety, among other uses, while Concerta is used to treat ADHD/ADD. That said, depression/anxiety can have symptoms that mimic the symptoms of ADHD. Lack of focus, concentration, irritability...to name a few. A diagnosis of ADD often comes after trials of SSRI treatment don't work. And also, sometimes these 2 meds are prescribed together, as oftentimes, ADHD and anxiety can go hand-in-hand.
