Common Questions and Answers about Ritalin for students
ritalin
regarding the use of Ritalin for students. They talked about how beneficial it was for concentration and focus. It allowed many students to stay up longer to complete their studies. It went on to say that in controlled usage it was a great medication. They predicted that it will be more widely used for college students in particular.
So yes, I would discuss the possibility that the drug may benefit you. It is certainly worth a try.
my 13 yr old son was diagnosed w/ adhd @ age five, was medicated with ritalin @ age six.we soon found out that stimulants seemed to make things worse for him, we went from ritalin to concerta to adderall to strattera. from the beginning, we have included weekly, sometimes daily therapy, and in the last three years intensive in home therapy.
i recently took a promotional test which i have studied hard for. i studied for months i felt really confident. the day of the test, it was like i didnt study at all when i took it, i was really frustrated, i didnt do well in the test and i usually dont fail tests even with my symptoms. I couldnt believe that i faild the test and i felt i knew most of those answers. My work partner and my wife and kids all tell me te same thing, why i am not listening to them.
Hello everyone,
First of all sorry for my English, this is not my language. I don't write in my country forums because people are not so experienced and there is not so much information.
I am 30 years old and have been addicted to all kind of drugs. I lost almost everything because of my addictions.
I was have been sober of cocaine for 8 months now. I used to inject it IV. Sometimes with heroine. Fortunately I never got addicted to heroine.
Is it acceptable for kindergarten students to receive I.S.S.? I have a five year old daughter who is very intelligent. She is constantly getting in trouble at school for not following directions, talking, clapping her hands with soap in them, not sitting on the carpet correctly etc..... At times she has a hard time minding and controlling her anger and sadness. I talk to her and she says she understands but keeps on with the same behavior.
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.
I dont know if this is accurate or not, but I thought it should be shared. I just read this in the "Health" Section of Foxnews.com I have heard a lot of really good things about Provigil, although I've never used it. It was recommended to me many times though. Just some food for thought. Seems EVERYTHING comes with its own set of dangers attached.
The other thought is not to take extended release meds (XR) so they are out of your system at night. Vyv has probably the longest duration of them all, which is great for some people. Ritalin has a duration of roughly 4 hours which I think is the shortest.
Some people even take meds to help them sleep at night (which I think should be avoided if possible). But since we all are different it takes some trial and error to see what works the best.
As you recognized, Asperger's Disorder is diagnosed by behavioral characteristics and certainly not by physcial appearance. In addition, I would recommend seeking a second opinion if you ever feel that a professional is rushing to medication. At this point, it would make sense to seek diagnosis if that will allow your daughter to gain access to some services that will help her to be successful.
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.
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 would highly recommend that your psychologist attend this meeting. Here, we also have a small private school for students with learning disabilities. They welcome students like your daughter. I wonder if there is anything in your area. I really understand what you are going through. Please don't blame the teachers. Their hands are tied with large classes and very little support.
