What Is Concerta?

Concerta is an amphetamine-based (stimulant) prescription medication used in the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD. It is believed to work by interacting with the chemicals in the brain that contribute to ADHD.

In addition, abusing Concerta via snorting can lead to Concerta abuse or addiction which can occur when an individual begins to depend on the high a drug provides.

Abuse and addiction is characterized by increasing doses and more frequent episodes of use, followed by a depressive episode.

Further, misusing this medication can result in Concerta withdrawal which can result in depression, psychosis, restlessness, and extreme feelings of agitation.
