Avatar m tn Does anyone take lyrica and if so, has it made a difference resting at night? Thanks.
Avatar f tn Can anyone offer some insight?
Avatar m tn I have tried Cipralex, Efexor, Fluanxol, Xanor (Xanax), Rivotril, Seroquel, Ritalin, Wellbutrin, Esperide. All had horrible side effects and and had to stop and try something else. I am currently taking Valdoxane and Molipaxin, but feel completely detached and unemotional, which is a problem as I have been married 9 months and my wife is 7 months pregnant. My doctor hads taken my off Molipaxin and prescribed me Lyrica to take in conjunction with Voldoxane.
Avatar f tn I was given my first dose of Lyrica last night and I slept brilliantly for once, today I've been very sleepy and when I took a nap I couldn't stand up when I awoke because my hip just flared up so badly I couldn't even walk. Luckily I am in hospital, so they gave me morphine straight away and its feeling much better. I really don't know very much about Lyrica and I'd like to hear what some people have experienced with it.
620048 tn?1358018235 My doc put me on ritalin. I am very sensitive to stuff, so unfortunately for me I took one and can't take anymore. I'm his challenging patient.
951196 tn?1246757829 "When the going gets tough the tough get going" This is for fighters like you who have come until now and you surely can go ahead. Do not lose hope and every individual is different and with MS you have myriad of symptoms and problems which you know. Just ask someone close to you to reappeal for your case as there might be a way out for the insurance etc. Take care and do your best!
Avatar m tn however i am thinking about getting ritalin prescribed . i have a very good job where i am routinely drug tested via Urine and Hair. will ritalin casue a fasle positive drug test? half the internet sites say no the other half say yes.
Avatar n tn It is one of the side effects of Ritalin perhaps you should ask your Doctor for a new evaluation of the Med, if you ever decide to let him be on Natural Remedies, it has been shown in studies that food supplements have the same efficacy as Ritalin and a Muliple Vitamin-mineral with B Complex and Vit C also Fish oil, would be good, a lot of Parents are trying this now and their children and not getting the bad side effects that Ritalin and the other meds have.
Avatar m tn I am on wonderful medication that is really helping me. I am on 50mg Ritalin and 75mg Effexor. However any new drug I get given knocks me and when I sometimes take my last dose of Ritalin my eyes start vibrating,all my muscles go tight and my eyes vibrate. This seems so unfair. Does this mean my body will eventually reject all meds. Please tell me this is not so. I am so happy on my medication.
Avatar f tn My doc gave me Ritalin for ADD and Effexor for depression but this last one gave me too many side effects and I stopped taking it. Now he switched me to Wellbutrin (150 mg once a day) and 30 mg Ritalin. I have felt sick but am not sure if it is the withdrawal effects from stopping Effexor or the mixture of Wellbutrin and Ritalin. I feel brain spasms, especially in the back of my head. Today I did not take the Ritalin and felt no spasms.
2083581 tn?1332307861 I currently use Ritalin for ADD and it also helps depression. Does anyone have suggestions for supplementing this with another drug. I have heard wellbutrin works well with Ritalin but I would like to here from someone with experience. Ritalin is the only drug that has ever helped me but when it wears off I am depressed again. (and I have tried Concerta and did like it) Any suggestions?
351317 tn?1204751871 I have noticed when I drink coffee or soda with caffeine it often triggers a gag reflex that is pretty uncomfortable. I first noticed this when I around 7 or 8 and prescribed ritalin which had this side effect. Is this a stomach problem or maybe an anxiety problem.
Avatar m tn I am a 30 year old who started taking ritalin and concerta (36mg - 72mg) on a regular basis for about 6 months about a year and a half ago. As a consequence I experienced erectile dysfunction. I stopped taking the meds and I still have erectile dysfunction. I have been off the meds for over a year now and I have not recovered my erectile function. I can only get a semi if I try really hard. I don't get morning boners any more and I don't get proper hard ons when watching porn either.
Avatar f tn I have FM and CFS and have tried both Adderall and Ritalin to see if it could reduce my daytime sleepiness. Neither one of them did anything for it. I wasn't advised by my doc of it helping for pain, just for alertness, etc. Gina, forgive me for saying..I mean no disrespect...but Lyrica has helped as many people as it hasn't helped. Steering bunney to a FB page that no doubt has horror stories from people will definitely ensure she never tries it.
Avatar n tn I would ask, though, if your rehab included any thought control processes, such as meditation and breathing exercises and doing complicated mental games. Meditation might also even out your blood flow, as does exercise and yoga, which can help control migraines.
Avatar f tn I have been on 2 10/325 3 times a day since December since I broke my kneecap and found out I have a very rare wrist condition I was supposed to have surgery on on the 22 nd. I also have ADHD and been on Ritalin. I have weened myself down by a half a pill a day. Yesterday was the last one and I feel terrible. My back hurts I have no energy and I can't think straight. How long will this last and how bad will it be to come off the Ritalin?
1100837 tn?1267668675 I am not really familiar with Plaquenil, but my guess is that the Savella is what is causing most of the fatigue from a medication standpoint. I remember you mentioning you've tried the anti-seizure medication, Lyrica and also had trouble with that one too. I have a couple of ideas for you, although the first one might seem a little strange, I've heard of it quite often from my arthritis inflicted friends and my ME/CFS sufferers.
Avatar m tn I did a quick check on the use of Ritalin on depressed patients. This is a quote from their package insert: "Ritalin should be given cautiously to emotionally unstable patients, such as those with a history of drug dependence or alcoholism, because such patients may increase dosage on their own initiative. Chronically abusive use can lead to marked tolerance and psychic dependence with varying degrees of abnormal behavior.
Avatar f tn ve been to 2 cardiologists and had 2 echos and multiple EKGs. I was assured that my heart was structurally sound and the PVCs were annoying but not dangerous. I felt okay with this answer and even though they bothered me, they didn't bother me as much after I saw 2 different cardiologists and got the same answer. Recently I have been put on Wellbutrin and Ritalin for my depression by my psychiatrist. I told him about my PVCs and he didn't seem concerned.
294425 tn?1288528395 I have also heard of using Adderall - do you know anything about that and how it compares to Ritalin? I am feeling a bit better today, so I hope it keeps up. I will check into the herbal stuff - thanks to you and Elaine for that tip! OK, MAYBE I did do a bit too much when I first took the Ritalin.... :) Were you here spying on me or did someone at my house front me out?? LOL! I was so excited to feel better those first couple of days.
1497278 tn?1289708073 Time to take a break here and now and it does not bother me that I ran out? WOW..Remember Ritalin is like speed a stimulant but does help a ADHD person focus but Now I also see I am NOT as hyper off it..
14631020 tn?1436545476 I do have the ups and downs, Ritalin gives me a very minor boost and it only lasts about 2 1/2 hours. I will put a call in and see what he recommends. Thanks guys! You're the best!
