Taking Concerta Daily does anyone know if Concerta (54mg) has to be taken every day? Or can it be taken only a couple of days during the week. I know it is suggested to take every morning, but I want to know if it HAS to be taken every day. Quote

To get the full effect Generally Concerta as for the other ADHD meds need to be taken every day to get the full effect. The medicine has to reach a therapeutic level in your system to do this. If not you will generally have ups and downs when taken irregularly. Thanks Quote
