Can Concerta be stopped abruptly from one day to the next?

Yes, Concerta can be stopped suddenly, especially considering that 18 mg is the smallest dose of this medication. There are no withdrawal symptoms expected with this medication. However, it is important to note that ADHD not only affects academic performance but also social interactions. If the medication is causing a decrease in appetite leading to weight loss or no weight gain, it is recommended to speak to a pharmacist who may suggest alternative options to discuss with a doctor.
