Can you take melatonin and Concerta?

Answer 1

My psychiatrist says "NO"... he just took me off of Lyrica. He said that he recently read a study which reported that taking a combination of Concerta and Lyrica causes a very significant amount of memory loss. Believe me: he is absolutely correct!

--Whatever I did each morning, I would think in the afternoon that I had actually done that yesterday!

--Every morning, I would have to look at my PC clock in order to see what date and day it was.

--I would go to get something in another room and when I got there I couldn't remember what the reason was as to me being in that room.

--I went through a RED traffic light. My wife was constantly telling me things I had done, said, or already heard the past several days.

--I was constantly: rewinding movies; reading a paragraph in a book over and over again... etc.

Answer 2

I have been on lithium for about 5 years or so. ok but doc added concerta and I started clenching so off the concerta. clenching got better but usual awful taste in mouth has turned into a burning inferno. this is gross but here goes - lots of grittiness, saliva, making weird tongue movements, pee burns, my face has so many zits I look like a 50 year old women going through puberty instead of menopause. WHAT is going on?

Answer 3

So long as you have a prescription for both from your doctor, you can take these drugs together. Remember that Concerta is a narcotic stimulant, and can be habit forming. Take it exactly as the doctor says and do not try to break open the pill. Do not take extra Concerta.

Answer 4

Yes. My child's doctor told us it was OK as long as you don't take more than the reccomended dosage of either.

Answer 5

Bad idea...they counteract each other...wait 4-6 hours between the two medications
