What is the recommended dosage of Concerta for a 92-pound person?
The recommanded dosage is always the lowest working dose. If 18mg allows good results, then it is the correct dosage. We start at a low dose, and we increased if we don't get any result after a week trial. Blood volume, brain chemistry and metabolism are the basic determining factors for what dose is ineffective, effective or "high". Concerta is available in 18mg, 27mg, 36mg, 54mg and 72mg extended release capsules. 18mg is the common starting dose for children and 18mg to 36mg for adults depending on discretion of the doctor. The maximum dosage of Concerta should not be greater than 0.9 mg per pound of body weight. For people switching to Concerta from Ritalin, the dosage requires careful consideration because 18mg of Concerta is much different then 18mg of Ritalin due to Concerta's precision time release mechanism. The following chart outlines the dosage equivalents. 18 mg Concerta = 4 mg Ritalin 3 times per day 27 mg Concerta = 6 mg Ritalin 3 times per day 36 mg Concerta = 8 mg Ritalin 3 times per day 54 mg Concerta = 12 mg Ritalin 3 times per day

What s the difference between Vyvanse and Concerta?
My Son has tourettes and tics, but both have been very minimal in the past few years. He feels he needs something to help his ADHD so his Neurologist (World Renoun) has prescribed 18mg of Concerta. I'm confused, as the warnings specify "not to be used with patients having touretts & tics.
Is 54 mg of Concerta to much to start out with?
Nope, that's what I was prescribed originally... With a 10mg Ritalin "booster." Yes 54mg of Concerta is too much for the initial dose. Over 6 years the recommended initial dose is 18mg once daily in the morning, increased if necessary in weekly steps of 18mg according to response to a maximum dose of 54mg daily. So you have been prescribed the maximum daily dose starting off. Starting on a lower strength would be more advisable in my opinion. Pharmacist in training Reference from BNF 56 Sept 2008
What happens if a teen take two 18mg pills of Concerta?
There is a 54 mg prescription for concerta. Presumably, some people can tolerate this much medication. These people are probably larger people who are otherwise more resistant to the drug's effects, causing them to need a larger dosage. At some point, depending on the person's physiology, mass and tolerance, I imagine that the taker would become very ill. Concerta is powerful stuff.

Is it safe for your daughter to take Concerta 18mg and Risperdal together if she has ADHD and autistic disorder?
Yes it is safe. My younger brother has ADHD and Asperger's Sydrome and he takes Concerta and Risperdal every morning. I would still recommend asking your doctor if it is safe for HER to use, as medications have different effects on different people. I know this sounds like a Scientologist. But my neighbor's mom told his psychitrist to prescribe him something because she thought he had a problem. He just wrote a ticket for Resperidal without and hesitation. I am glad he didn't take it, it is schizophrenic medication. I am sure what ever your daughter has is much, much better than any single side effect from Risperdal. Please don't let her take it, you will lose your daughter.
Your son is 6 and take Concerta 18mg and he is having a hard time going to bed at night how can you help him?
It is very simple. Give him 3mg of Melatonin a couple of hours before his bedtime. It is natural and sold with the vitamins. This is a chemical your body produces naturally to help you sleep. Most ADHD children use this to help promote sleep. Good Luck. You could also try giving him 1mg of Melatonin about 30min before his bedtime. Its less drugs in the end, even though Melatonin is natural.
