Ritalinvs. concerta dosages... | ADHD Information

Share

Anyone out there...can you tell me what 20mg of ritalin 2x a day translated into as far as concerta dosages?

My hubby is currently on 36mg concerta and has noticed a slight improvement (we have noticed an improvement in his moods being more stable) in being able to handle stressful situations in a calmer manner than before, but we have to pay for the drugs ourselves.  when I called the doc for a dosage increase, and explained our dilemma in the price of concerta,  he prescribed 20mg of ritalin 2x a day.

Would that translate into more than 36mg concerta?

Just wondering...

 

Here is the concerta conversion chart.
