Is concerta a benzodiazapime?

No, it's actually quite the opposite. Benzodiazepines are prescribed for anxiety, and generally calm the patient down substantially, decreasing anxiety and making sleep easier. Concerta is a psychostimulant, meaning it "speeds you up", which can increase anxiety, cause mild hypertension, and make it extremely difficult to sleep. In slang, Benzodiazepines are "downers" and Concerta is an "upper", if that helps.
