Yes, it can most definitely cause withdrawal symptoms. There are many sites on the Internet which discuss this, some sponsored by drug companies, some independent. Here's one - Side Effects of Concerta Withdrawal | eHow.com

I think everybody hates taking pills, but as you know, sometimes they are necessary. You should really talk to a Doctor. Did you stop because you ran out of pills or because you simply got tired of taking them?

Have you had a good experience with Concerta? There's lots posted on the Internet, good and bad, and I wondered about your personal experience.

You write and express yourself very well, very easy to understand, very clear. That isn't always the case on AMHD.

Yes absolutely! You must be very careful though it has a high potential of giving you suicidal thoughts. Which is very dangerous. I myself went through that. You should contact the new Dr and explain that you have abruptly stopped the Concerta and see if he can give you a small prescription just till you see him. Good Luck!
