All medicines have benefits and risks. The risks of medicines are the chances that something unwanted or unexpected could happen to you when you use Concerta. Risks could be less serious things, such as an upset stomach, or more serious things, such as liver damage. FDA approves a drug for marketing after determining that the drug's benefits outweigh its risks. It is important that Concerta is monitored for side effects. Sometimes Concerta side effects can be reduced with the right treatment.

Concerta - I just started taking Concerta (36 mg) and I immediately developed shingles. My doctor swears it\'s a coincidence, but I can\'t help but wonder. I had chicken pox as a child, but I\'ve never had shingles before now (I\'m a 34 year old female). I went to the doctor today and got Neurontin and Valtrex, but the doctor told me to keep taking the Concerta. I don\'t know what to do because the Concerta is helping my ADD, but I believe it is at least partially responsible for my PAINFUL shingles outbreak. Side Effect Report#5065 shingles (herpes zoster): started with severe internal pain in left lower abdomen, then headaches, chills, and heartburn, then developed painful, itchy rash that spread from upper left buttock around outside of thigh, down to knee and over to groin; no symptoms whatsoever on right side of body.
