urine test for ritalin

I wonder if it is possible to show up because I have never heard from a person that was able to tell me that they were able to pass a test for ritalin. I have done some research on the Internet but I was hoping someone on here would have experienced testing for Ritalin and can tell me they there story.

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.

Ive heard that methylphenidate/ritalin wont be detected by most urine test but ive also heard that it will show up as methamphetamines, so i dont know what to believe. All i want to know is will it show up at all and if it does will it show my high levels of ritalin being in my system so the doctors will know i was abusing it.

Substances Causing False Positives According to a report by the Los Angeles Times New Service, a study of 161 prescription and over the counter medications showed that 65 of them produced false positive results in the most widely administered urine test.

Because there are so many over the counter medications that can affect a urine test, it would be good to request a blood test if your PO will agree to that. It would be the easiest way to clear this up for you.

I take a whole in the morning and the half about 3 in the afternoon. I also take ritalin as prescribed daily. 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 .

I have been going to PM for 6 years now.. In April they called to do a random urine drug test the nurse could tell I was very sick so she told me they will get with me another time (I was seen by my PCP also and I had strep) so when I went to my PM in May they ripped me up and down about missing and that I would be scheduled every month I come in to get my RX I will have to take a UA drug test which was fine I have nothing to hide..

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 started to have stomach issues I know have had a ct scan , ultra sound, urine test, everything normal ..... does anyone else have this i have a lot of acid and they did find sludge in my gallbladder but i dont have the classic gallbladder symptoms. I have undigestedted food in my stool. and feel the need to sleep on my left side as my right side hurts .

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).

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.

So often in the morning he will seem unfocused so will not do well during early 8am test. His doctor and I discussed trying Ritalin first in the morning and then adding Vyvanse, which is the reverse of what many people do. Since Ritalin is faster acting I'm hoping that it will kick in first ( is it within 30 minutes?) and then after it kicks in to give Vyvanse.

I am also puzzled why any Doctor would want to give a child a drug like Ritalin simply for him to focus, this is exactly the problem that is mentioned in the above post ..

A friend gave me one 10mg Ritalin pill and said it would help me study for a test. Is this okay to take for a one time thing considering I do not have ADD/ADHD? I was told it would give me huge amounts of energy. My resting heart rate, for some reason, is usually around 80-95 bpm. Is this okay to drink with a monster energy drink? Any help is appreciated!

This started for me after about 3 months of being on Ritalin too! I found giving myself full access to the bathroom helps because I can see it and force myself to wake up and go. It is horribly embarrassing but life without Ritalin is not doable for me. I'm also of the same age. I found using a mattress protector helps take away some of the stress.

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?

He takes Ritalin for the narcolepsy and clomipramine (generic for Anafranil) for the cataplexy. The Ritalin helps, but he can only take 3 pills a day (insurance won't approve more), and he really needs at least 2 more a day to stay awake and function. He has bad nightmares and yells out in his sleep when he does not have the clomipramine.

I know that they give adderol and ritalin for fatigue and concentration,which by the way are both schedule II class drugs. although they are both very effective for fatigue brain fog due to tx.but they have a very high abuse potential and in texas,where I live an MD can have a class v through class III schedule license, but in order to write for class II substances he must apply and be granted a special license to write for class a II substance.

Sorry you've had bad side effects with the Ritalin--it worked great for me, with no side effects (except cheerfulness and faster typing!), although after a couple years of intermittent usage, it seemed to not work so well and sometimes even seemed to have the opposite effect. I then stopped taking it and eventually started Strattera, which has been great.

YES,I HAVE BEEN ON RITALIN FOR FATIGUE,MY DR. HAD ME TAKE IT AT 8 AM AND THEN AGAIN AT NOON.IT SEEMED EFFECTIVE. THE BUGGY SENSATION , I HAVE HAD OFF AN ON FOR A FEW YEARS,SO I CAN'T BLAME THE RITALIN. SWEETIE GET SOME REST. YOU SAY YOUR SON IS HOME ON LEAVE,IS THAT FROM THE SERVICE OR COLLEGE. I KNOW WHEN MY KIDS ARE HERE THEY GRAB MY LAB TOP,I DON'T SEE IT FOR HOURS.

My neuro put me on Ritalin for this bone crushing fatigue a week ago. I realize some medicines take a while to get into your system before they actually work and some medicines are fast acting and you get immediate results. The Ritalin has made me slightly more mentally aware, but I am still bone tired. Should I give it more time or call him and tell him it isn't working?
