Concerta Advice
UpdatedMy daughter just started taking concerta a week ago. This is her second week and she is feeling like a zombie. She is 16 years old. Can anyone talk to me and give advice?

This can be a normal side effect, while her body is adjusting to the medication, however, it should taper off in a few more weeks as her body gets used to it.
If it is really causing her a problem, you may want to contact her doctor, for advice. There is always the chance that she is on the wrong dosage or wrong medication to help her.

Are there any comments or questions?
I was told by a doctor that if they are on a too high a dose, they will act like a zombie. I think the dose is too high.
