Take it when you don't have ADD or ADHD.
It's used to treat other things besides ADHD, as well.
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.
if you take concerta and stop and have to take a drug test two days later, will concerta show up at all.
i use citalopram, welbutrin and concerta all together.. first 2 for depression concerta for adhd so yes its possible.. anymore questions, email me at tenerb@gmail.com
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.
Lower your dose of medication. If that doesnt work, you probly dont have really bad adhd. Having horrible and newly discovered adult adhd, I have been on concerta, adderall and vyvnase. I started at 18mg concerta and wasnt satisfied with my focus until I got bumped up to 70mg Vyvanse. I take 70mg everyday and i am able to take naps throughout the day, and go to bed normally. Through my experience, being a college student, i have seen people (who are not prescribed) take 30mg aderall to study and not be able to sleep for 2-3 days. If this is the case for you, you dont need it. If you have bad adhd you could take a 30mg Aderall or a 70mg Vyvanse at 7am and be yawning by 12pm. Even the first time i ever took aderall, i was able to sleep normally, which is how i actually discovered i had adhd. Adhd meds can help anyone focus, but theyre meant to help the people who cant focus without them
My son has ADHD and he uses Delsym with no adverse affects. It does not interrupt his sleep either.
One can take Concerta or Ridalin. The ADHD symptoms are that one will feel very run down and tired. Additionally, one can feel a lot of pain, that generally starts in the head area and have trouble breathing.
It should be safe. Mood stabilizers, such as Lamictal, are prescribed occasionally for those that have mood swings when taking a stimulant ADHD medication.
While takeing conceta pills, It can make you bleed more on your period.
My son was on concerta he was taking 38mg it worked for him but he has ADD. The more they take is a very bad thing. I would take sugar out of there diet and red #40 food coloring out and go to health food store and get Attention and give it to them 3 times a day over the summer and see how they do. Doctors just want to drug them and you lose your kids. If you need me I"m here for any one I have done my homework!
