A member asked:
I was wondering is concerta a good adhd medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Concerta: Concerta is in the class of medications we call methylphenidates and is effective for the treatment of adhd. It is long acting (8-10 hours) and helps with focus and attention. It seems to have less appetite suppression than other classes of medications.
