Answer: Concerta and Adderall aren't very much different at all, except Adderall is more effective and Concerta has less side effects. They both are dopamine reuptake inhibitors. Adderal just seems to be more potent. Concerta is less addictive as well. hope this helps, Megan.******

Is con certa better than adderall?
That depends on what you mean by "better." Concerta has less side effects and is generally safer, but Adderall is way more intense.
You are on Concerta Yesterday you started taking your adderall again your program did a urine on you it showed up methapehampetmine will the Concerta and adderall both show up when the lab breaks down?
The Lab can Determine if the substance is adderall-(amphetamine) and or if it's concerta. Concerta's main ingredient is methylphenidate and adderall is amphetamine. a long time ago I was prescribed Concerta, I had also been taking more than I was supposed to and ran out early. During this time I had also had been given a call back for a second interview with Walgreens. I was having bad withdrawls and asked my friend, who was prescribed adderall, to lend me a few until I got my next script. I went to the interview and got the job and had to take a drug screen! I wasn't worried because I thought the adderall would show up the same as concerta(possible meth) I waited anxiously to hear back from Walgreen's, and to my dismay it was the lab calling to tell me that I tested positive for amphetamines. The man asked me what meds I was taking and I told him Concerta, and he said that Concerta isn't amphetamine and asked if I was taking adderall. Than he asked what pharmacy I goto and like most people I go to Walgreen's. I finally told him the truth and was denied the job!! I WAS PISSED!!!! I had to tell my parents it was terrible.... SIDE NOTE: Newer Urine test are now testing for amphetamines to reduce confusion!!
Can you mix Concerta with oxycodone?
all you need for adhd is concerta, but concerta can make you jittery and give you an all around weird jumpy feeling like as if you were smoking crack or speed. so it wont help your adhd any better but the vicodan might calm you down if you expience those effects. if its those "speedy" effects of concerta that bother you consider switching to adderall rather than methyphenidate , i have found concerta to make you more jittery and stuff than adderall . as for the safety of this mixture dont quote me on this but if you keep your does'es low you'll be fine
What does concerta have in it?
Concerta is a long lasting safe and nearly unabusable version of the drug Ritalin. Due to the mechanism of action that concerta utilizes to deliever the methylphenidate smoothly throughout the day is what places this medication on a different level than most er stimulants...its a miracle drug and should be taken more often than amphetamines because it is less addictive but still effective!
What contains amphetamines?
The most popular 4 would have to be: Adderall, Ritalin, Concerta, Vyvanse. I will warn you that these are meant for people that have been diagnosed with A.D.D / A.D.H.D. However, such a diagnoses (physically or mentally) does not exist. Anyways, I'm sure you've heard of what it can do to you so all I would say is be careful. Also, don't take more than 200mg of Adderall, Ritalin, Concerta, Vyvanse at a time because the side-effects or the overdose is terrible.

What is the doasge comparison of 54 Mg of Concerta to the dosage of Adderall XR?
First off the the two drugs are completely diffent substances. Yes, they are both FDA approved for the use of ADD and ADHD therapy, but Concerta falls under the class of methelphenadate type stimulants where as Adderall Xr is a stimulant medication that is derived from amphetamine and is made up of the 4 different salts which create a combination known as Amphetamine Salts. The dosage of 54 mg in Concerta would be comparable to the 30 mg. XR of Adderall, being that they are both the strongest dosage that you can possible obtain, but of course you may recvieve more than one dosage per day depending on individuals tolerance, weight, sex and height. Both drugs have stimulant effects but work on the brain differently.
