Should a child take Strattera and Concerta?

Asked by Wiki User

I would not recommend this combination, since it does have an increased risk of hypertensive effects. However, it is possible that a low dosage of each would be prescribed to treat different symptoms (social phobia / ADHD). I have never seen this combination prescribed before though.

Can Concerta and Tylenol be taken together?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I assume you want to speed off Concerta and then sleep with Tylenol PM? Is that right? Well first, there is no come down from Concerta, it just wears off. The next day, however, is going to be the most boring day of you life. And secondly, have you taken PM before? It suck. I have taken it far too many times. I doesn't put you to sleep, it doesn't make you feel rested, it does nothing. There is nothing to worry about coming down from Concerta.

It F**ks you UP! But you shouldn't do it!! It could kill you, its very bad to mix pills and alcohol no matter what kind of pill or how much you drink. I'd suggest not trying it out if you havent already, very bad idea.

What do you do when Concerta causes difficulty to sleep?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I was taking 40 mg of strattera a month ago and last week the Dr increased it to 60 mg. I have found that since I have been taking this med I have been able to stop taking my Xanax. I am not able to sleep for long periods like we use to do when were younger. I have taken an over the counter sleep aid that makes me rest better. Strattera has relaxed me so much that I am able to sleep better than I use to. There are RX's that can be prescribe, but I use to be on those and got myself off them. Try over the counter med first.

If you have trouble sleeping, as I did when I started Strattera, I recommend taking your dose first thing in the morning, when you wake up. That way, the medicine's effects fade off by the time you want to go to sleep.

Can you mix Concerta with oxycodone?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

all you need for adhd is concerta, but concerta can make you jittery and give you an all around weird jumpy feeling like as if you were smoking crack or speed. so it wont help your adhd any better but the vicodan might calm you down if you expience those effects. if its those "speedy" effects of concerta that bother you consider switching to adderall rather than methyphenidate , i have found concerta to make you more jittery and stuff than adderall . as for the safety of this mixture dont quote me on this but if you keep your does'es low you'll be fine

Will Concerta get you high?

Asked by Wiki User

Concerta is a stimulant treatment for children and adults who suffer from ADD/ADHD.

Concerta contains methylphenldate just like Ritalin but in a special hard capsule that delivers the first 22% of the dosage from its dissolvable coating, the remaining 72% is slowly pushed out of a lazer drilled hole in the top of the capsule in a toothpaste like form over a 10 to 12 hour period by the expanding action of an osmotic sponge in the bottom of the capsule, then the empty capsule is later expelled in your stool/poop.

The design of the hard capsule has two purposes

A- To give a stable controlled dosage over a greater period of time

B- To make the medication more difficult to abuse and increase safety.

C-To double the cost of the medication (OK that's just me complaining)

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.

Seriously though, I am an adult that struggles daily with ADD, I have a legitimate prescription for Concerta and take it daily to help with symptoms, my current 36mg dose has become ineffective over time and my doctor will be very reluctant to up my dosage to 54mg because of abusers looking to get high, so smarten up, you are making things more difficult for people that really need this stuff.

What if your daughter took Concerta at night accidentally?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

She'll be doing homework for the next 8 hours. Modification to original answer about homework for 8 hours: Actually, that depends on many factors. If it was her Concerta, and she normally took it in the morning (which is the most common, from what I have been told), at the same or a higher dose than she accidentally took at night, it might realistically have no effect. If it was her Concerta, she presumably has ADD or ADHD. If so, while Concerta might act as a "speed" for others, it would normally have the opposite effect on her - and that is exactly why she has it. So if it was somebody else's Concerta, and she does not have ADD or ADHD, she should expect to be "wired" for a time, depending on dosage and how tired she is. "Wired" might include jumpy, unable to concentrate, unable to sit still, unable to sleep, unable to think or talk about a single topic for even a moderate amount of time. Think the stereotypical over-caffeinated-but-tired employee that comedians make jokes about. Lots of words, really fast, but not much useful communication or work. An irony of ADHD is that Concerta, when it works, makes ADHD patients more "normal", and yet it makes "normal" people much more ADHD-like. Something about brain chemistry that is way above my education. I am no MD or pharmacist, but I have been reading about Concerta and have read what appear to be relatively reliable sites saying that Concerta can actually help adults with ADD and ADHD to sleep better. I have ADHD and found Concerta completely ineffective for any purpose at the dosages prescribed. No effects, no side effects. For my mid-teens kid, it has worked as advertised, in the mid-range of recommended dosages, and has been a significant aid to functionality, especially in the classroom but also in other environments requiring concentration and extended listening. Still a teenager, though. Just one that, when motivated, can sit still and listen much more easily than before the prescription. (That motivation seems limited to locations outside the home, except when she is watching a good movie - a teenager). I am on a combination of other meds, one of which is generally considered more of a "speed" than Concerta. Together, my meds have substantially and unexpectedly increased my average hours of sleeping per night from 4 or 5 to over 7. And taking the amphetamine later in the day (I have not yet tried it "at night" - after 6 or 7 pm) has not changed this new pattern - it takes effort for me to stay up past 11, even though, before I went on the meds, I could, with any motivation, stay up past 2 or 3, and with real motivation, even until 5 or 6, and then restart at 8. So the meds, including the amphetamine, have increased my sleep. So your daughter might be fine, or she might be in for a horrible night.

That is a very good question, but it is better to ask this question to the physician that prescribes them than to ask it to the world populous on the internet. Let's be honest, there are more reputal sites to research than Wiki Answers.
