Ritalin for two
Common Questions and Answers about Ritalin for two
ritalin
I have shown proof from reliable sources, to my Doc that he needs to give me MORE than 60mg Ritalin for it to be effective as 60mg Adderrall. He still will NOT increase the Ritalin dosage. I took the script anyway, and after filling it realized I am screwed for the month. I hardly can tell that I am taking an ADD medication when I take this weak Ritalin. I even took 80mg and felt nothing. I hate to do it, but I am going to call my Psych.
Has anyone ever been prescribed Ritalin for Migraines? What is the thought about this?
I am looking for alternative approaches for my chronic migraines, usually 2 migraines per week, 1 of which is completely debilitating. I tried a 5mg dose of Ritalin (1x day) for a week and it was a migraine free week (despite high stress and sleep deprivation due to work).
When I get my urine tests back every two weeks the lab results say that my levels are too low. It is coming up negative for nor buprenorphine. They say it could be there but it is under the cut off of 30 mg/ml . One week the doctor called the lab and the lab said something to this effect: Because the patient takes ritalin it pushes the nor-bup out faster than with a patient not taking ritalin. Therefore it doesnt have the proper time to build up in the patients metabolite.
Tried ritalin (normal), ritalin SR, Concerta and amphetamine. Concerta gave me something but felt something missing, normal ritalin was terrible, OD and came into "cocain waves" (very high, and straight to the bottom), amph gave me more but I didn´t eat, and felt a bit anxious, ritalin SR was, and is my favourite, works as a charm.
I too was taking Ritalin for ADHD about 15 years ago . It worked for awhile then it started to make me anxious and paranoid . I was taking 20mgs three times a day . When I called my UCLA doctor from the adult ADHD clinic on campus he at first just cut my dose . Turn the clock ahead about two weeks . I was still not doing well on it so I had him paged on the weekend and when he called me back he sounded quite annoyed and told me just to stop ! Big mistake !
It depends when he is whiney and obsessive. Ritalin is only good for a maximum of 4 hours. If this is happening towards the end of this time, then this sounds like fairly normal adhd behavior. In that anxiety is a very normal co-occurance and he sounds pretty anxious. I think it is more likely that he is underdosed then overdosed, but really don't have enough info yet to tell.
m a naturally anxious person.. and going on something like Adderall or Ritalin is out of the question... unless maybe if I have to drive somewhere that day. Is there any way to correct the condition, like with antidepresants?
I've been on Ritalin for about three years now. I've noticed that if I forget to take it, I get really, really anxious, almost paranoid and I also feel exhausted. And for the past maybe three months, I've noticed that later on in the day, I start feeling like I haven't taken it at all. I have never, ever, ever taken Ritalin to stay up all night or crushed it and snorted it or anything. Is this withdrawal? Can I be dependent on Ritalin even if I always took it as directed?
My dr has just decided to put me on ritalin, after trying many many other drugs plus ect, for my treatment resistant depression. My question is how quickly will I know if it works? Do I get immediate benefits from it or is it a gradual approach? For example, if I take a tablet at 9am, do I feel more energetic for that morning and then wears off by bedtime? I hope I'm making sence! Thank you for your help.
Ritalin hits sooner and harder - which may be the difference you feel. I would first ask your doctor about increasing the V dose. V is a smoother drug that can take up to 45 mins to start working and you may just not be used to its gradual onset. However, it should last 10+ hours. If it does not - thats a pretty good sign you are underdosed.
The original source of my first treatment is no longer an option, and I am having a hard time finding someone to do this for me. I have gone to see two doctors so far and neither visit was helpful on any level. Does anyone know how I can find a doctor who will administer Flumazenil to me or at least write a prescription for it?
I decided I was going to need help staying up for that long, I took two of the 40mg Ritalin. These alone would have probably been fine, but I made a foolish mistake afterward. Monster creates an industrial size can (slight exaggeration but it is huge) that I was used to drinking every now and then. I bought three of them in planning on also helping me to stay up.
What you describe is pretty extreme behavior for a 6 year old. Before Ritalin, what were the main complaints the teachers had that caused a diagnosis to be sought for him?
(I have a now 23 year old who was on Ritalin all his elementary school days, and in some ways I regret it, but I don't know how he could have maintained focus if he weren't on it.
