Is Concerta similar to cocaine??

I suffer from ADHD (diagnosed by an actual Dr.) and have been taking 54 mg of Concerta for the past 3 years. Yesterday my Dr increased my dosage to 72 mg. When I was telling my friend she told me that it's extremely similar to cocaine. Now I am freaking out wondering if the Concerta is gonna hurt my body like cocaine would. Will it? And Will i notice a difference from taking 72 mg now as opposed to 54 mg?

THANKS!!!

  • There is a similar mechanism involved, but no, it's ridiculous to compare the two in their effects. Concerta/methylphenidate are no closer to cocaine than caffeine.

  • have the cocaine effect but does not hurt you body in the same way trust me iv been taking it for 10 years
