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).
this dr wants me to go up 10 mg a week till i reach 60...i dont know about that..he switched my adderall to ritalin for my refractory depression and i toook 2nd pill thsi morning but im afraif im gonna be allegic to it,u all know my fears..i alos haved somazation syndrome and hyperchrodriac..which this dr told me are 2 differnet things..he said to still enjoy my 2 or 3 beers,,he has been a pshychtrist for over 50 years..i read some good reviews on people using ritalin for depression...
I told my doctor and she put me on Ritalin and it has helped me considerably but the only drawback is that I have anxiety issues and Ritalin can flare it up for me which means I have to stop taking it for a day or so or cut back until my depression worsens. For right now Ritalin seems to be the only drug that has helped with my depression and I am no longer taking any antidepressants now. I just take Clonazepam for my anxiety. Hope this helps you.
Sometimes, Ritalin is prescribed for depression or extreme tiredness, but not by your surgeon, and absolutely not without first discussing this with you.
No, it is absolutely weirs and I would assume it is a mistake unless you are not telling us something we don't know about.
At last, my current question, I was hospitalized again a couple of weeks ago for depression. I had been on Cymbalta and Wellbutrin, with clonazapam for anxiety and sleep, and my depression to me seemed th worst it has ever been.
The new doc at the new hospital, with my regular psychiatrist's approval decreased my wellbutrin, and added ritalin at first a tiny dose and then a little more.
I don't believe I have ever felt better in my life.
said i could still have my couple beers with my meds....how long does ritalin take to work im on 10 mg but could take another 10 in the afternoon i was on 30 mg adderall i heard ritalin is stronger..im scared i will be allegic to ritalin as im afraid i will allergic to all new meds..and it is deiffernt than adderall pharmist said she has rarely heard of anyone being alletgic to these kinds of drugs but i thought i was having hard time breathing yesterday..
like lack of focus,direction in life, motivation pushing myself. so,my therapist suggested i go on Ritalin to help with these concentration/focus issues. i've always had big problems concentrating on anything. like reading especially. at the moment i am weening myself off Lamictal and Wellbutrin slowly. after i will begin Ritalin. what do you all think?
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.
Hi, I've been using yhis app for 2nd week now, 41 and had lost 25kgs. On my final mission to lose 10kgs to get to goal weight.
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.
my bipolar/depression symptoms are gone mostly. could i take Ritalin (along with these 2 drugs) or a natural drug to help with my concentration?
t think this is normal, even if I am on Ritalin. is it possible that this is linked to anxiety or depression (which are chronic issues)?
t worked either, but i was exercising everyday, eating well, meditate and yoga and actually was feeling a bit better but not entirely so he added me another dosage of prozac and reduce the clonazepam, 5 days passed and i was feeling super bad, had the worst anxiety and depression i had in my life. i talked to him and he said ok so back to one dosage of prozac and more clonazepam and well it did help but i was not feeling a bit better like i was.
I've been abusing my ritalin for a couple of months now, usually by snorting. I really want to stop because it seems that I cant do any activity without a little bump of it, when I run out, im severly depressed, agitated and usually panic ridden. I take medications for anxiety and depression. I know I need to take them as prescribed but it seems i have no will power. Any suggestions for tapering off this stuff orally?
This is my opinion on this -- marijuana is fun when it's fun but it can bring out of us things that might have stayed inside -- or might have come out anyway later. Because marijuana focuses the mind so much on one thing it makes you dwell on positive things when it's fun and on negative things when it's not.
