Can you gain weight while on Concerta?
You can if you don't watch your food intake after the Concerta/Ritalin wears off. Since it is a stimulant, it usually causes a loss of appetite. After the Concerta/Ritalin wears off, there have been reports of people tending to binge eat.
What treatments are needed for ADHD?
Some people are able to manage their ADHD without any medication, but instead receive therapy and counseling. However, several people that use medication have reported that it helps a lot. The most common medication for ADHD is methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta), and can be obtained by asking your mental health doctor about it. Usually he/she will give you a free sample to try it out. The two major types of methylphenidate are Ritalin (quick release) and Concerta (slow/prolonged release) which both have similar effects.

What ingredients Ritalin?
Ritalin is a brand-name drug for methylphenidate. Methylphenidate is used to treat ADHD; it is also known as Daytrana, Concerta, and Metadate.
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 schedule is Ritalin?
Ritalin is listed as a Schedule II drug on the Controlled Substances List (Vyvanse, Adderall, Concerta, etc., are all C-II drugs.
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
Besides Clonidine what other medication treats impulsivity?
Methylphenidate is a medication branded under two very popular names: Concerta and Ritalin. These medications are commonly used for people, especially children, with ADHD (most commonly Ritalin). It can seriously help with impulsivity because it has an effect which slows down the decision process in the brain for more rashional decisions. The difference between the two is that Ritalin is taken as a instant-release drug, which provides relief from ADHD effects on-the-spot. Concerta, on the other hand, is a slow-release medication: meaning that taking it once a day is usually enough to last the rest of the day. Concerta has been said to work even better than Ritalin, although everyone has different reactins. But, make sure you talk to a mental health expert (psychiatrist, psychologist) prior to starting such a medication. A prescription is required to obtain methylphenidate, so do not ever 'borrow' any pills from a friend or someone you know unless otherwise instructed by a mental health expert. Usually they give you a sample dosage before buying the whole thing, therefore making it and unnecessary risk to take medication not prescribed to you.
