A member asked:
What to do if i'm about to pick up my prescription for concerta tomorrow. i am a male with adhd- predominantly inattentive. will i be able to concentrate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Try it: Try the dose for 2-3 days and then follow up with the prescriber. I usually titrate the dose every 2-3 days and arrive at the best dose within 9-10 days at the most. Concerta works well in about 85-90% of those taking it, meaning you should be able to concentrate.
