Research Notes on Concerta Withdrawal


Concerta, a drug prescribed for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, may possibly incur withdrawal symptoms in those that abruptly stop taking it.1 This usually occurs when a patient is taking higher doses of Concerta than what is prescribed by a doctor.1 Close monitoring is required to ensure a person doesn't develop depression when withdrawing from Concerta, especially when the drug has been abused.2 If a person feels like Concerta is not working or the dosage isn't strong enough, do not self-diagnose or automatically increase the medicine, and tell a doctor immediately.3
