Concerta M 36

Can I take 2-18mg of Concerta to equal my 36mg. I ran out of my 36mg and I have 4 18mg from previous script ## Hello, Lois! How are you? Yes, that should be fine, as long as your doctor approves. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, nervousness and insomnia. This medication also carries the risk of being habit forming. Is there anything else I can help with?

I need to know what the difference is with the two sides on the inside of a Concerta 36? Is it 2 separate drugs that make it what it is because I was told one side was the actual methylphenidate and the other side was a blood pressure drug? Someone know is addicted to abusing pills or anything else it seems and I told him to not to misuse this pill, because I was also told it could kill a person if it's taken the wrong way. Can someone help me explain this pill to him so he can read for himself from someone else what's exactly going on because he thinks I'm joking about it and I just don't want him to die for making the wrong decision. Seriously as fast as you can possibly respond would be helpful. Thank you for your time in advance. ## Hello, Lee! How are you? No, there...

I been on methylphenidate now for 7 years my psychiatrist has been prescribing it to me now for 7 years and for me taking concerta is like putting on a pair of shiny clean glasses and I can see more clearly. I was on 36mg concerta and thought I might ask my dr to drop the dose to see if I could get more out of it and I did I have now been on 27mg concerta and I have noticed a massive improvement I'm not so jittery, impulsive, don't talk as much as I used to, my behaviour is more mature and I feel so proud of myself. It's been 4 months now on the dose drop fr 36mg to 27mg and i feel more like myself again and the concerta helps me to focus concentrate and function with my add ## Wow, Claudia!

I have ADD , as a child I could not even get out of bed to go out and play,I was called a dummy all my life until I started to take desoxyn after I was forced to drop out of school.I was about 18. Once I started this wonder drug my whole world opened up. I excelled at everything I tried it was as though a curtain was opened up for me.I just could not learn as others do and still can't. However everyone who meets me thinks I have gone to college. I have been taking concerta 36 x 3 daily for some years now and at this point Its not working.I asked my Dr who I have been seeing for 30 years If he would give me a RX for the desoxyn.He did however I'm thinking this is going to be a problem because one pharmacy has already told me they will not get the medication. What the heck is it w...

I told my friend that he shouldent open the capsule and take the white and yellow part because its not meant to be taken like that and i told him it would make him hallucinat and it would make him addicted and he doesn't believe me. The pills are Concerta time release alza 36. Please someone answer because i dont want my best friend addicted to Ritalin. ## The concern with doing that with time released medications is the risk of overdose, because someone could get too much of the medication, at once. However, it may not necessarily make him hallucinate or cause addiction, but the risk is there. These risks are present with any medication that is abused and the overdose risk from defeating the time released mechanism. Typical side effects of this medication may include nausea, headac...

Are there any other medications prescription or other wise that look like Concerta( white cylindrical shape, alza 36 imprint) I believe my roomate stole my meds and replaced them. The pills are also white cylinder shaped but there is no imprint code. I'm not that upset he took them I know he has problems but there were over 30 pills left and I dont want him to hurt himself out of ignorance. I know I'm not being paranoid these look just like my meds but like I said there is no imprint. Can anyone help me out? ## The answer to that would be no! Prescription medications in the US have to have unique imprints to allow them to be identified in case of emergency, thus the same imprint code cannot be used on something else. Now, please note, I am only saying this in relation to U.S. me...

My son had SEVERE ADHD to the point of hitting teachers when he was 4 in preschool, so he was tried on many meds and finally placed him on 36 mg of Concerta and 1mg of Tenex for any left over aggression. When he was in 1st grade the Concerta was moved up to 54mg. Now he is almost 12 and he says he doesn't feel "normal" when he takes them (sometimes we skip weekends). What is the safest way to stop? ## Since it does contain Methylphenidate, which is a psychostimulant, there can be some problems and rebound effects, if you completely discontinue it abruptly. So, it really should be slowly tapered, to minimize the possibility of such issues occurring. Learn more Concerta details here. Have you consulted his doctor? They should be able to help you with a safe and effective taper...

I am 36 yr old female diagnosed with ADD 2 yrs ago. I was originally on 30mg of vyvanse and that was great. I had to stop taking it bc I was pregnant. I was put back on it a month ago after being off of it for a year and it was not the same. It only worked for a couple hrs and I lost appetite. So dr put me on concerta. This is my second day and I dont like it. It takes forever to kick in and it makes me angry and so sleepy. Will this change? Is this common? Is the dose to low or high? (34mg) I am thinking low bc I cant concentrate at all and Im tired all day. Thanks ## I'm assuming you meant the 36mg extended release tablet? That is actually one of the higher dosages, the next would be the highest daily dose at 54mgs. Since it is an extended release, it is not going to start working...

My son is 15 and has ADD,the Dr put him on 36grm of Cocerta,It did not work.Now the Dr wants to try him on Intuniv. My Son has ADD he is Not Hyper,how will this Med help him. ## Generally, ADD and ADHD are considered the same disorder and are treated with the same types of medications. If you read the monograph on Concerta, you will see it listed as being used for ADHD: Just like Intuniv is: Have you discussed your concerns with his doctor?
