Who qualifies for Concerta

Concerta (methylphenidate) is a stimulant medication primarily used to treat Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adults. When reviewing your case, our EU-licensed doctors look for a clear diagnosis of ADHD, a history of Concerta use or a strong indication for it, and no contraindications. Key factors include your medical history, current symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, and any pre-existing conditions like heart problems, severe anxiety, or a history of substance abuse. The doctor will assess if Concerta is safe and appropriate for your specific health profile.

What Concerta actually does (and doesn't do)

Concerta works by increasing the levels of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain, two neurotransmitters crucial for attention, focus, and impulse control. This helps improve concentration, reduce impulsivity, and manage hyperactivity associated with ADHD. It's designed to help you function better in daily life, but it's not a cure for ADHD. You can expect to see improvements in focus and attention within the first few weeks of starting Concerta, with continued benefits over time. It's important to understand that Concerta is part of a comprehensive treatment plan, which may also include behavioral therapies. It doesn't instantly solve all ADHD-related challenges, but it significantly aids in symptom management.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Concerta can have side effects. Common ones include decreased appetite, difficulty sleeping, headaches, stomachaches, and anxiety. More serious, though rare, side effects can include increased blood pressure or heart rate, psychiatric symptoms (e.g., hallucinations), or a prolonged erection (priapism). If you experience any severe or concerning side effects, or if your symptoms worsen, you should stop taking Concerta and contact your doctor immediately. Our doctors will discuss potential side effects with you and advise on when to seek medical attention.
