Is concerta a safe dug for ADHD?
Methylphenidate or concerta is not a new drug and been around for over
60 years. Besides ADHA, it has been approved for treatment of narcolepsy and in
certain patients with low blood pressure. The drugs effectiveness’ for ADHA is
now being questioned because some of the doctors involved in the past clinical
trials were paid by the manufacturer and it appears these f..kers fudged the scientific
data and made up all positive things. Recent studies indicate that the drug
does not promote academic achievement and improved learning.
Similarly, the
dose for treatment is quite variable ranging from 5-36 mg per day. My best
advice is to speak to your doctor and read about the drug. If concerta has not
worked in a few months, I would dump it.
