MODERATORS
If you say Ritalin, you mean the "normal" version without extended release, right? It is individual how many hours Concerta has an effect, but it's roughly 7-10h.
How much mg of Ritalin do you take in 7-10h in total? That is roughly the dosage you need for Concerta.
Ooh, quite a lot. My Ritalin (yes it is IR) dosage tends to go 15mg - 50min - 10mg - 50min - 5mg - 50min - 5mg. So that does roughly equal the 36mg dose of Concerta I guess
