May need dose increa: Stimulant medications like Concerta can cause a tolerance, requiring a dose adjustment to regain the desired effect and duration. Speak to your prescriber. As to the tiredness when the effect wears off,make sure to get at least 8-9 hours of sleep and eat a breakfast which has a good amount of protein
