Concerta: The Hidden Dangers of ADHD Medication Misuse

Siobhan Morse, the executive director of the National Institute for Holistic Addiction Studies, brings to light the often overlooked dangers of Concerta misuse in this episode. Concerta, a medication commonly prescribed for ADHD and narcolepsy, works by boosting dopamine levels in the brain, which helps with attention and reduces restlessness. But what happens when it's misused?
Morse breaks down the science behind how this stimulant, when taken in ways not prescribed, can lead to a rapid increase in dopamine that disrupts normal brain function and creates a euphoric high, making it highly addictive. Withdrawal from Concerta isn't a walk in the park either. Morse explains that chronic use can lead to dependency, and stopping suddenly can bring on a range of withdrawal symptoms.
These symptoms can vary widely depending on how long and how much the drug was used. The longer and higher the dose, the tougher the withdrawal process. This episode is a must-listen for anyone dealing with ADHD medication, whether you're taking it yourself or supporting someone who is. It provides a detailed look at what happens when prescription guidelines are ignored and offers crucial information on the detox process.
With Morse's expertise, you'll gain a better understanding of the risks involved and how to navigate them safely.
