Yes; Concerta is a brand name for extended release methylphenidate which is a central nervous system stimulant. Stimulants universally cause lack of appetite; care should be taken if lack of appetite becomes severe and/or if it leads to weight loss.

Most do not cause weight gain. A primary concern for ADHD medicines, actually, is weight loss. Many medicines suppress one's appetite resulting in eating less.
