What Are The Long Term Side Effects Of Taking Concreta ?
I ve been perscribed concerta and been taking it for about 2 months now. i smoked weed twice while on the persciption. the first time i smoked a blunt and pretty much blacked out for a good mintue. but other than that it was just a extremed sense of paranoia. the 2nd time was awesome, coun t ask for anything better. but i im concerned with having some long term effects because im not at all sure what concerta does , let alone mixing it with marijuana would do to my intelligance and sofowrth. so yea, just pretty much concerned with long term effects. thank you for your time
