I may be completely wrong, but I'm beginning to think my body doesn't metabolize Concerta correctly. I only feel its (weak/mild!) effects, a half hour after I take it, and only for about 3 hours. After that the drug is not therapeutic.

Concerta dose have an unusual time release mechanism. The end of the capsule dissolves initially and releases, a "burst" of medication, then there is another layer that is released over the next few hours, then another layer to release again. My theory is that my body doesn't open that last layer or for some reason just doesn't metabolize it benficially. I definitely do not get 10-12 hours out of the medication.
