So I realize this is not the right site for this question but eh. So I have ADD and take concerta to help. However I take two for it to actually work. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow for it. My question is, would I get in trouble if I told the doctor I take one more than prescribed? Would he think i'm an addict and abusing it? Thank you for your time!

i think he will just say cut back to what was prescribed. But he won't yell at you or anything.

Taking two might have had detrimental effects on your overall health.
You should tell him you took two, regardless of his reaction.

Doctors are there to help, not form personal opinions of people.

If you are actually 'Addicted' to them, meaning your day depends on having them, then i'd probably say something to him, Otherwise don't sweat it mate.

No, just tell him that one wasn't working and he might increase the dosage. That's what they did for me.

I have been to the doctors say about 4 times changing the dosages. I try to tell him that specific drug is not for me and doesnt make me feel right so he just increases or decreases the dosage.
