Concerta Withdrawal And Detox
Concerta is a medication given to patients who have attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, also known as ADHD. This medication is effective because it can balance the brain’s naturally occurring neurotransmitters. When ADHD patients begin their treatment, Concerta can help them pay attention, stay focused, organize tasks, improve listening skills, control behavior problems and more.
Just like starting any new medication, Concerta may produce certain side effects in some patients. Less serious side effects of using Concerta include nervousness, trouble sleeping, loss of appetite, weight loss, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and headache. If you notice these side effects are persisting or worsening, contact your doctor as soon as possible.
Although many patients do not experience serious side effects from Concerta, it is important to know these symptoms so you can spot them if needed. Serious Concerta side effects are signs of blood flow problems, unusual wounds on the fingers or toes, fast heartbeat, irregular heartbeat, agitation, aggression, mood swings, abnormal thoughts, thoughts of suicide, uncontrolled muscle movements, twitching, shaking, sudden outbursts of sounds that are hard to control and vision changes. Do not hesitate to call your doctor if you notice these serious Concerta side effects.
Get medical attention as soon as possible if you experience these very serious Concerta side effects: fainting, seizure, symptoms of a heart attack, shortness of breath, unusual sweating, symptoms of a stroke, confusion and sudden vision changes.
Choosing the Concerta rehab center to fit your specific needs is a big step in your journey to recovery. Set up a meeting with your doctor to discuss what you should look for in a Concerta center. You may want to consider how long you have been taking Concerta and your Concerta dosage levels when choosing a Concerta center.
