ritalin and melatonin

You should be able to fine tune the effects. Talk with your Doc. Something like Ritalin has a shorter life and that might work better for you.

Concerta has really helped my son, but he has lost his appetite and it causes him to lose weight periodically. I like the idea of Melatonin and will try that for both him and myself. Thanks for the info.

VE BEEN TAKING 40MG OF CITALOPRAM IN THE AM ... AND 1 MG OF CLONAZEPAM AT NIGHT TO HELP WITH SLEEP ALONG WITH 10MG OF MELATONIN.

I have been medicated for a long time (was on Ritalin for a very long time but had to switch medications within the past few years because Ritalin stopped working for me). I have been on vyvance for a while now and it was doing fine for me. I am in college now, and last semester (spring 2014 semester) I got a concussion. I did not seem to be having too many problems over the summer break, but now that I am back in school, I have completely changed.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Buy choline, start eating magnesium,L-tyrosine, D-vitamins (double the dosage), Methylcobalamin 5000mcg a day, talk to your doc and ask him to prescribe ritalin (will probably aid your sleep). Melatonin will aid your sleep if you have issues falling asleep. You probably also have issues in you nostrals, then a cpap wont help without proper medication. Then you will need this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mometasone_furoate If this regime fails then modafinil will assist you also.

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?

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.

What are you doing with my child? LOL Actually, my son is 11, and he does most of these things and has for a long time. He is ADHD (on 10mg of Ritalin 4x a day) We tried the Concerta, but his metabolism is so fast, the meds wore off by 3:00pm. Also, he has been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (he's adopted) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. The Ritalin (4x a day) works very well during the school year. On the holidays and long breaks, he doesn't need near as much.

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.

and the omega 3 is fish oil witch is good for the brain and so is Vitamin B6 and B 12.The Melatonin really helps with the sleeping. If you can't get your Child Doctor to send you for these things then I say it is time to get a new Doctor who will. You need to demand these things and stand strong these are our Children we are talking about.Even if the Doctor tell you there is know need.

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?

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.

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.

Maybe just kick the ritalin, and keep tapering suboxone and valium, or try to make it through the next 7 days CT from both.

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.

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..

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!

I have MS and this is why I am asking about Ritalin instead of the 600 mg of provigil i take every Morning

but I agree with severance...when I was in my 20's and thought I was invincible, as many people do in their 20's, we'd call Ritalin "the poor man's cocaine" and crush it up and snort it...I didn't do this that many times, because I'd speed myself up and do so much and get totally exhausted and sleep 24 hours afterward... that's why I stopped taking it, though many of friend's continued...
