Concerta 18mg typically begins to take effect within 30 to 60 minutes after ingestion. However, its full effects may not be felt until about 1 to 2 hours after taking the medication. The extended-release formulation allows for a gradual release of the active ingredient, methylphenidate, throughout the day, providing symptom relief for up to 12 hours. Individual responses may vary based on factors like metabolism and overall health.
My son has ADHD and he uses Delsym with no adverse affects. It does not interrupt his sleep either.
if you take concerta and stop and have to take a drug test two days later, will concerta show up at all.
i would not advise taking any concerta while taking lexapro. I am currently taking lexapro and have taken concerta about 7 times. Each time i took concerta i would hear many scary voices in my head. i looked up the psycotic effects of concerta and they said that a side effect of concerta is hearing voices if you are on an antidepressant
You can stop taking concerta at any time and return to it at any time, no problem, Its recommended to stop concerta for a weak or so every 6 Mont's so that you can fell the full effect again, but you can take it or not as you want but we people w add or adhd want to take it so we can leave a more normal live, If you forget to take it or don't want to, nothing will happen only that you will feel a stronger effect when you get back to it if you stop for a weak or more.
2-4 days depends on how much how often and your body system.
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.
can you take paracetamol and concerta together
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.
Yes; taking some expectorants can reduce the effectiveness of Concerta. If you need to take an expectorant for an extended period of time, consult your doctor.
Take it when you don't have ADD or ADHD.
Yes
Yes, Concerta is time-released methylphenidate. Methylphenidate is a psychostimulant and will cause hyperactivity in high doses; if you take Concerta for ADHD consult your doctor about your dose, as it may be to high.
