The medication Concerta is typically used to treat ADD, ADHD and in rare cases Obesity.
It is the first and only one daily medication for ADD/ADHD that last for 12 hours. Generally takes about an hour to take affect and it takes awhile to get you really balanced. I am still adjusting to it.
I am on it and it has helped me be more focused. I get more done now because I can up with what I am doing...
It is not for everyone.
Essentially it is a labratory version of Meth/Speed. Ends up balancing your mind and body...

Concerta is a form of medication used to counter act ADHD symptoms. It was not effective for my daughter. It is a synthetic drug that should help with the nuerological functions in ADD individuals.
It helps a lot of people but my daughter got no relief from her symptoms when she was on it. IT did not however, cause her the major headaches the other ones did.
