WELCOME to my youtube channel and during this video, I'm talkIng about concerta, this is 27 milligrams and it can do some miraculous things when it comes to helping you with your focus, concentration and mood. Let this video be your guide, we'll go over my concerta experience. I'll compare it to other alternatives, like: Concerta vs Adderall, concerta vs Vyvanse, Concerta vs Ritalin and I'll go over some of the most common concerns about it, such as Concerta side effects, the Concerta dosage, concerta for a weight loss.

I used concerta for about 3 years on and off and it was my experience was that it is absolutely fantastic, it absolutely works... but the comedowns and the crash were bad enough to make it be an overall negative experience... and for that reason, I'm not a user and I never plan to touch the stuff again. Initially I began taking it after I used Ritalin. Ritalin was used to help me with school. They suggested it because I was having trouble studying... I would read and regress to the beginning of the paragraph repetitively, and it was just damn hard to pay attention. So, I was on Ritalin at a very small dose, and Ritalin was great... it would help you to concentrate for a couple of hours. However, it only lasted 2-3 hours and for this reason, I made the switch to concerta. I started at 18 mg and then went up to 27 milligrams.

Harold Koplewicz: Your Brain on Ritalin

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Koplewicz debunks the myth that Ritalin and Adderall affect those without ADHD differently than those with it. The effect is the same.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HAROLD KOPLEWICZ:

Dr. Harold Koplewicz is one of the nationโ€™s leading child and adolescent psychiatrists. He is widely recognized as an innovator in the field, a strong advocate for child mental health, and a master clinician. He has also been at the forefront of public education to dispel the myths and stigma surrounding children and adolescents living with psychiatric disorders. Koplewicz has been repeatedly recognized in Americaโ€™s Top Doctors, Best Doctors in America, and New York Magazineโ€™s โ€œBest Doctors in New York.โ€ In 2006, he was appointed Director of the Nathan S. Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research (NKI), making him the third person to hold that position since the institutionโ€™s founding in 1952. He is also the founding president of the Child Mind Institute.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSCRIPT:

Question: Do ADHD drugs affect a โ€œnormalโ€ brain differently than a brain with ADHD?

Harold Koplewicz: Well I think thatโ€™s a myth. I think thereโ€™s a myth out there that if you are a hyper-active, or ADHD kid, Ritalin or Ritalin-like medications are going to work on you differently than they will on the normal population. And thatโ€™s what it is. Itโ€™s a myth; itโ€™s inaccurate. So for all of us, whenever we would take on of these medicines, your dopamine and norepinephrine is going to be more readily available in your brain. You will be more focused. You will be more attentive, you will also, might be a little more uptight and a little more hyper-vigilant. And when you take any medicine, thereโ€™s a cost/benefit ratio. Any time you take a medicine, thereโ€™s a potential side effect. So if you donโ€™t have ADHD and youโ€™re going to take this medicine, any psychostimulant, any type of drug like this is going to increase your heart rate, it may elevate your blood pressure, it will decrease your appetite. Those things are side effects that are unnecessary if your dopamine and norepinephrine levels are normal. In the same way that if you take too many aspirin. It will thin your platelets, which might be good, but might be bad. And if you take too much aspirin you can actually get an ulcer.

So this is something that every time you get prescribed a medicine, a doctor is thinking about what the cost/benefit ratio is. A little quick soundbyte..

So, but the important part for us to remember is that when someone with ADHD gets these medicines, they get closer to what a normal, typical brain response is. So that they look less hyper-active, they look more attentive, therefore theyโ€™re less impulsive. They are able to do what theyโ€™re capable of doing. It doesnโ€™t increase your IQ points, it doesnโ€™t make you smarter, it lets you get to the IQ points that you do have. And therefore, while youโ€™re never as attentive as a typical or normal individual, and you never stop moving around and stay as still as a typical normal, you are more in the normal range that permits you to be more contemplative, insightful, and therefore get in touch with and use your intelligence.

Question: Is there any danger of addiction or long-term chemical changes?

Harold Koplewicz: Well, I think there are other side effects. So, for instance, particularly if you take Dexedrineโ€”which is a more potent version of Ritalin, slightly different chemical structureโ€”there is no doubt that you will also get a slight rise in your mood and you will feel somewhat more euphoric and you will feel more expansive. And therefore, if you start taking that medicine on a regular basis, when you donโ€™t have it you very possibly will feel a crash, or you will feel down. And therefore, thatโ€™s the potential side effect that could be quite serious, that you become used to it or become almost addicted to the sensation of feeling good when itโ€™s not necessary to cause you to focus or you donโ€™t need it for extended attention.

2-Minute Neuroscience: Methylphenidate
2-Minute Neuroscience: Methylphenidate Side Effects 1 Views โ€ข 24 days ago

Methylphenidate, better known as Ritalin or Concerta, is a stimulant medication primarily used to treat ADHD. In this video, I discuss how methylphenidate affects the brain and how this is thought to lead to therapeutic effects in ADHD.

TRANSCRIPT:

Methylphenidate is a stimulant medication primarily used to treat ADHD, although it is sometimes also used to treat daytime sleepiness associated with narcolepsy and has several other off-label uses. Methylphenidate is better known as Ritalin or Concerta, which are two of the numerous brand names the drug is sold under.

Methylphenidate is a stimulant drug. Its primary mechanism of action is thought to be the inhibition of reuptake of the neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine. Reuptake is a process used by neurons to remove excess neurotransmitters from the synaptic cleft. In reuptake, proteins called transport proteins move neurotransmitters out of the synaptic cleft and typically back into the neuron that released them. Thus, by inhibiting reuptake, methylphenidate increases levels of dopamine and norepinephrine in the synaptic cleft. These elevated levels of dopamine and norepinephrine lead to increased activity at the receptors for these neurotransmitters, and cause various alterations in brain activity.

For example, methylphenidate has been shown to increase activity in the prefrontal cortex, an area of the brain thatโ€™s considered important to attention and other executive functions. The exact way the pharmacological actions of methylphenidate help improve the symptoms of ADHD is not fully understood, but in general itโ€™s thought that dopamine and norepinephrine signaling are important to attention and other executive functions, and thus increasing levels of these neurotransmitters leads to therapeutic effects in ADHD.

Although inhibiting dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake appears to be the primary mechanism of action for methylphenidate, the drug does have a number of other actions in the nervous system. For example, it also stimulates serotonergic and adrenergic receptors. Itโ€™s unclear exactly what contribution these other actions may make to methylphenidateโ€™s therapeutic effects, but studies have found that the effect on adrenergic receptors specifically may be important to the drugโ€™s ability to enhance cognitive function.
