In reply to Concerta, too much??, posted by Rainwoman on April 13, 2001, at 10:28:46
For all ages, the maximum is 54 mg, according to the Monthly Prescribing Reference.

> I haven't been here in forever, but alas, here I am now! I am currently perscribed at 54 mg. Concerta daily. It seemed to stop working, so I started taking 2, 108 mg. Please, I don't need to be admonished for this, but I also don't need to lose my job from lack of concentration, so if you could please just not waste space and scold me. I just wonder if anyone knows what the maximum recommended dosage is and am I exceeding it. I am 34, weight 135. I normally have a very high tolerance for medications, maybe cause I'm mostly muscle or maybe I just have an addictive trait. The thing is, I don't know if my metabolism is completely breaking down the pills. Is that possible? Can the pills come out (if ya know what I mean) somewhat whole and you still get the medication. Really wierd questions here, sorry, but thanks in advance!
