What Causes Lack Of Focus And Concentration With Increase In Intake Of Concerta?

I m prescribed 54 mg concerta and have been taking it for two months now gradually upping dosage,however I m in the navy and they take forever for appointments and are a guessing game when giving out medication.I take in morning at 7 am and around 1 pm I start to feel a huge decrease in concentration and ability to focus which makes me feel as if I need to take 2 a day,So I have been and now I m out,I am not abusing it,I m using it more than directed yea but I m treating my symptoms for the whole day whereas 1 a day just doesn t cut it.it helps during work but after work I have no ambition to do anything cause I m so tired and run down.What can I do?
