Does Concerta cause shingles (herpes zoster)?

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 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 also believe it at least played a part in my shingles outbreak.

Probably not related.  You may have picked it up though while in the doctor's office or in the pharmacy when you were purchasing your concerta.

Shingles is also very stress related.  Have you been under much stress lately.
