A member asked:
Is 36 mg of concerta adhd medication safe?
8 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Typically: Lots of variables, but the usual dose range for Concerta is 18 to 54 mg a day. 36 mg is a very common dosage, but the best dose varies from person to person, based on benefits and side effects.

Yes: Concerta is very safe if adhd was properly diagnosed and the patient is regularly monitored. The use and dose of medications in adhd must be targeted for specific outcomes, usually defined as "normalization." this and the occurrence of adverse effects then drives the dose used.
