Concerta

Though I didn't begin taking it to lose weight, I've definitely had that result. I was 216lbs when I went to the dr. to ask questions about ADD and whether or not I have symptoms and how serious they might be. I was diagnosed with a pretty strong case of ADD (basically my mind is always racing, starting different projects, but not able to avoid distractions and not able to follow through on projects both work and home. Many times having 5 or more things going on my desk at once - juggling back and forth, avoiding tasks that required concentration, etc.) I was prescribed 36mg per day and noticed the impact immediately with the loss of desire to sleep all the time (typically caused by desire to escape the juggling of all of my tasks). I had energy galore, am able to concentrate all day long, read for long periods (boring financial stuff not novels) and retain the information. I also had heartburn and headaches the first few days. After about 5 days, I took a day off from the Concerta and started again the next day. Since that time, I haven't had any side effects whatsoever, other than lots of energy and concentration and a dramatic effect in my productivity. So... the question about weight loss. One month later I went to the dr. as a follow up and was surprised to weigh in at 9lbs less... Since then (only a week ago), I've really began to watch my diet (encouraged by the previous month's results without event trying), count calories and keep a journal of what I eat, exercise daily, and I've dropped another 5-7 lbs already. I'm doing nothing drastic like on Biggest Loser, just 30 minutes of exercise (cardio) plus weight lifting, and eating about 1800 - 2000 calories a day from probably over 3000 a day before. I'm guessing that once I reach my target weight and shape in the next month or two, I'll have to find my target calorie intake that keeps my weight steady since the Concerta will continue to cause my body to burn more calories- I assume that'll be about 3000 calories a day but we'll see... Hope this helps provide info to someone.

I'm sorry, but I can't assist with that.

The pseudoephedrine in Advil Cold and Sinus may increase risk of cardiovascular and stimulatory effects. It is always best to ask your pharmacist or doctor about medications that may interact.

Yes, most cough medications can be safely taken along with Concerta, though some decongestants (pseudopehedrine, PPA) may add to the stimulant effects and cause nervousness or shakiness.

Concerta will show up on a hair drug test if they are testing the hair for methylphenidates. It will show up in urine for up to 7 days after last use.

omg yes. took 3 18mg concertas before smoking weed and it intensified my high so much. it was a good intensity though cause i was at school. having concerta with the weed made me much higher while making me focus on schoolwork and such. it also decreases munchies. it was good.

I'm no doctor or chemist, but generally weed can be taken with anything. There are several things that are lethal when mixed with alcohol, but this is not the case with weed. I'm sure that weed would either amplify or mellow out your experience. Also, I'm not sure whether you have a prescription to the concerta or if something you are using for recreational purposes.

---------------------------------------------

I am ADHD and I was a pothead. Weed supposed to mellow you down and Ritaline(Concerta) supposed to wake you up and keep you alert.

My doctor have warned me many times NOT to do both and there may cause issues to your body.

Despite that, why would you want to mix a downer with an "upper"?

EG, it is a waste of money to do coke and weed at the same time don't you think?

I don't do any more drugs including Weed. Concerta is all I need to treat my ADHD issue.

But if anyone is having trouble focus to read or to do anything constructive to their lives, I highly recommend these people to do a ADHD check. Why would you want to get high if there is a drug that helps you become a better person? There is no reason to abuse it.

Weed really dont do much to me except it knocks me out at night and I love the taste of it. Concerta is my perfect drug. Nothing else for now

If both drug are prescribed for the same person, yes they can be taken together.

Gynecologists are licensed physicians, usually MDs, or DOs and so they can prescribe drugs. Moreover, some health plans allow a female patient to designate a gynecologist as their primary care provider, and so that physician may be called upon to treat the full range of medical conditions that are usually addressed at that level.

Stimulant.

It depends what drugs were sold, what the laws are in the area the drug was sold, and how much was sold.

yes..i was prescribed and am taking celexa, welbutrin, and concerta all together

celexa and welbutrin for depression

concerta for adhd...

Yes you could. I currently take 54 mg of concerta daily. But if it is not perscribed to you i do not suggest it. You can take up to 72mg a day.

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.

Taking anywhere above 13 would be considered an overdose, anywhere above 19 and you will most likely be hospitalized, and taking 24 or more pills will result in cardiac arrhythmia or cardiac arrest.

The exact amount of Concerta, a prescription drug given to people with ADHD is not known, so if you experience any side effects such as joint pain, rapid heartbeat, blurred vision, buzzing in the ears, cheat pain etc., you should contact your doctor immediately.

The Grey is time release, all the white is the concerta, Do not snort this, it will be the worst decision you have made in a min.

if you take concerta and stop and have to take a drug test two days later, will concerta show up at all.

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.

No, you should not smoke Concerta (methylphenidate) or any form of medication that is not designed for smoking. Concerta is an extended-release tablet intended for oral use to treat ADHD. Smoking it can lead to serious health risks, including lung damage and unpredictable effects due to the alteration of the drug's delivery mechanism. Always use medications as prescribed by a healthcare professional.

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.

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

5$ but you can charge as much as you can get away with

depends how strong the concertas are and how high you wanna get id recommend taking 6-8 and if your sniffing em 3-4

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.
