Question:
reactions to Concerta

I recently started taking concerta and had a bout with blood when I got sick. I only have been on the meds for about 5 days and am concerned it may be bad on my stomach lining. I am going in to get checked but was wondering if anyone else has experienced this?    — Damian M. (posted on July 29, 2002)

Please be carful taking concerta, this is a time released drug only. After WLS we cannot take timereleased because they are not absorbed correctly. However there are other types of the same drug the are not time released. If I were you I would contact your surgeon and ask what he would sugest that you take. I hope that you are better, and this helps.
