shinkansen1966 Report post Posted June 24, 2015 After I've been told the normal more effective is 36mg After perseverance and help from my GP, I've been taking Concerta XL 36 mg. I agree with you about the settled and calmer benefits. Your post is over a year old, so I wonder if you have an update. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
