Brief Answer:
Most likely

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

Although she will be ok but she may encounter few side effects of concerta such as sleep disturbances and jitteriness.

It is also important to look for toxicity provided ingested dose was higher than the routine morning dose.

I hope this answers you.

Feel free to write back to me if you have more questions.

Thanks and regards.
