Avatar n tn Will he continue to drop weight if he stays on this medication? How long is too long to stay on the medication? Can he be in it for long term? When he skipps his medication he's back to his old ways...he's hyper, anger, upset, etc so I fear the thought of taking it away but also am concern if taking it for too long could harm him? please help.....
Avatar f tn Hi folks, I took Concerta for 2 weeks and gave it up because of GI issues and a lot of facial twitching in addition to still having a lot of fatigue. I stopped taking it almost a week ago but I still have a remaining eye twitch that is driving me nuts. Now I'm thinking the current twitch is likely unrelated to Concerta and may be MS related. If so, it is a new symptom for me and like most MS symptoms, I need relief. Has anyone had any success getting rid of the twitches?
Avatar m tn The Concerta will show up for one to three days (in a urine test) depending on how fast you metabolize. However from what I have read, it will show up in the initial screening as a general amphetamine. After a positive initial screening, the sample will be further tested using a different methodology that will specify the type of amphetamine. Of course, if you have taken your generic version of adderall after the concerta for a couple of days. That should be what shows up.
Avatar f tn my body hurts so bad and i feel like im losing my mind how long does the withdrawl symptoms last?
Avatar f tn Concerta and Concerta CR which is controller release, I believe it was called. However, I found that concerta is not a very effective drug for dealing with ADHD. You might want to have the school give her the second dose at 1pm at school, this way it will avoid the medicine lapsing while she is at school. I switched my daughter from Concerta 36 to Adderall XR and I have found that it works much better for her.
Avatar m tn It always helps to know the doses of the old med and the new one. Anyway, concerta has a life of about 8 hours and V has a life of 8 to 12 + hours. And I think that this is part or all of the problem. You probably need to cut down on the V. (with your doctors approval as the doc does need to know what is going on) so it doesn't last as long. This a link to a way to cut down on V - http://www.corepsych.
Avatar f tn I just started taking Concerta (36 mg) and I immediately developed shingles. My doctor swears it's a coincidence, but I can't help but wonder. I had chicken pox as a child, but I've never had shingles before now. I went to the doctor today and got neurontin and valtrex, but the doctor told me to keep taking the Concerta. I don't know what to do because the Concerta is helping my ADD, but I also believe it at least played a part in my shingles outbreak.
317019 tn?1532965586 It might last up to a week, depending on where it's coming from. I thought I was out of the clear too...but I've learned differently in the past few weeks. When do you see your doctor again? If it's not for a while, I'd call him tomorrow morning and ask them how long it might last AND to see if they know what's causing it yet.
Avatar f tn I can't find how long it stays in the system. It is a stim med. if you took only one ...you are probably ok. Lots of warnings about tapering off the med, but that's if you have been using for awhile.
