A member asked:
Does concerta increase motivation to perform tedious or burdensome tasks like working or studying?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Concerta or methylphenidate is a CNS stimulant similar to amphetamines, a controlled substance, commonly prescribed for ADHD and narcolepsy. It helps with focus, attention, and concentration. It prevents norepinephrine and dopamine from being uptaken at the presynaptic cleft, therefore theoretically increasing use of those neurotransmitters

I've noticed that Concerta starts working only 2-4 hours after I take it, yet most people say that it takes around 45 min for them. Is this unusual?

Instead of suppressing my appetite the 36 mg dose of concerta increases it. I have gained 30 lbs. Is this normal? I take Lexapro (escitalopram) as well
