He told us Adderall can be psychologically addicting and so we are very careful with it-him, in not scripting very much at a time and only once or so a year, and us, not taking it every day but only when absolutely necessary. It really does help with the focus and getting stuff done, though, so we are considering asking him for a script for Concerta.

Anyone with any experience or knowledge of Concerta and PD please share, thanks.
No direct experience, but from what I have read it does work on dopa receptors so there may be an increased sensitivity when taken with Sinemet on a daily basis. Maybe there is a way to space dosages? Hope in bumping this up that someone else can be of more help. -Laura
