ritalin

Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn i think all the drug tests test for amphetamines and that is what it will show up as. are you prescribed ritalin?? if you are i would not worry about it. don't think they can test levels in UA. just whether present or not.
Avatar m tn 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. My daughter calls me adn says daddy why are you ignoring me.
Avatar m tn My daughter is prescribed ritalin and takes it at school. The doctor did a Urinalysis test and sent the sample to yhe lab. Well that didn't end so well because ritalin didn't show up in her system at all. Thank god that the day of the appointment she had school or it wouldn't have looked so good on me.
Avatar f tn I had read this on the Addiction Forum by ActingBrandNew and wanted to share it here for those that are being effected by a false positive drug test. No you did nothing wrong the test are faulty in that they sell over the counter drugs that interact with the testing..
Avatar m tn 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!
Avatar m tn I would suggest you to go back to your doctor and get yourself re-checked with proper drug history. A repeat sleep test might be thought of and discuss the option of Ritalin. Focus on your stress to overcome it and try yoga. I am sure you will do better. Take care and keep updating on the progress.
2083581 tn?1332307861 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?
Avatar m tn I have MS and this is why I am asking about Ritalin instead of the 600 mg of provigil i take every Morning
Avatar n tn IDK how to answer your question and am not familiar with this drug but gather it's like ritalin? Why did you take this much? Is this a regular drug for you? If you are not feeling right please go to the ER. Better safe than sorry okay? Let us know how you are...
Avatar m tn Ritalin for Adults With ADHD. Ritalin for ADHD treatment in adults has not been adequately studied, meaning that no large studies have been conducted on the benefits and risks of using it to treat adult ADHD. However, healthcare providers may prescribe Ritalin for adult ADHD in certain situations. This is considered an "off-label" of the drug.
460591 tn?1207150799 i have no clue. but, be very careful mixing meds..you could get in alot of trouble....it is just not good. sorry i could not help!
Avatar f tn s action really quickly (apart the fact that it is most of the time snorted which makes it way more bioavaible) and it haves a short half-life. Ritalin works pretty much in the same way like you will feel the effect 30 to 1 hour after taking the drug. I am very happy that you have found, what seems to me, be a good doctor.
Avatar n tn 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.
429700 tn?1308007823 Now the opposite affect is thought to happen in none affected individuals, so speeds up thought, energy etc one of the reasons Ritalin has value in the illegal drug world and club seen. It is sort of like speed but legal.
Avatar f tn but he said thats only if you r prone to seizures...so i went to drug checker and put in all my meds ritalin,xanax and wellbutrin....it says the combo of wellbutrin and ritalin really increases the chance of seizures and so does the xanx..so im scared to take it now,dr also said i could drink a couple beers and i think that increases seizures to.............I have never had a seizure so maybe im worried for nothing ..anyone been on this combo?
1497278 tn?1289708073 Ritalin was basically banned from pharmacies in Puerto Rico!! Ritalin is a very dangerous drug, it causes damages to the nervous system, it makes your body retain water and it makes people to have nervous tics. My advice to you is to stop taking that forever, don't even try another different medication because the doctors will prescribe you next time a stronger one, then a stronger one, then another and another and so on to the point were they will tell you that you are bipolar!!
405614 tn?1329144114 I was told to ask her to send more information on why this medication is medically necessary for me. When I told the pharmacy guy that a drug similar to Ritalin gave me a resting heart rate of 150, he about choked. He said that is definitely the kind of information that makes a difference.
939031 tn?1289956654 I recently saw a sleep doctor who suggested something interesting - he said, it might be a good idea to try long-acting Ritalin in the morning, with a single short-acting dose in the afternoon. I have not tried this, but I thought it sounds like a good idea! Maybe this is something to ask about? Oh, Ufrustrated - one of the huuuge benefits of Ritalin that I forgot to mention: it's sooo much easier on your stomach than caffeine! All right you guys - good luck on the medicine search!
14631020 tn?1436545476 ve been tested for that stuff before MS. My fatigue was explored in depth before I finally got a brain MRI that got me in trouble. LOL He also has me on Tramadol for sleep, just be sure I am sleeping well I suppose. I hope your physiatrist is able to help you feel better. Thanks for the reply:) Good luck to you too!
Avatar f tn I took Ritalin in the beginning and it was a major shock. It worked - however for not that long - for only one to two hours. Then poof I was back to my normal not being able to concentrate because of my weird moods again. I have not tried Adderall or Concerta because my doctor recommended a drug called Vvyanse but I found it works for alot longer than the Ritalin. Its only in the one pill instead of the multiple pills (Ritalin).
Avatar f tn My dr has recommended that my son take 5 mg of Ritalin in afternoon to help him focus with homework. Anyone have any experience with side effects in child and taking this?
Avatar f tn WARNINGS - Ritalin should not be used in children under six years, since safety and efficacy in this age group have not been established. Sufficient data on safety and efficacy of long-term use of Ritalin in children are not yet available. Although a causal relationship has not been established, suppression of growth (ie, weight gain, and/or height) has been reported with the long-term use of stimulants in children. Therefore, patients requiring long-term therapy should be carefully monitored.
Avatar n tn Xyrem is a salt based drug, ultimately causing an excess of acid in your stomach which in turn can cause "gerd" resulting in apnea features. Our stomachs need a balance of salt and water to operate properly. There are side effects to "any" medication even aspirin. And while this specific drug did not work for your husband it does work for many others. I have narcolepsy too and am currently being treated with ritalin.
Avatar f tn I had my lil girl and we both failed for pot well the were fonna do a poop tesr on her n she can back clean they done a hair folical test on me n I failed for amphetamines.... coild me being n a room with someone who was smokeing meth cause me to fail for it???
Avatar f tn 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).
Avatar f tn My name is Bob, and I have had ADHD as long as I have lived. I have taken Ritalin for most of my life, but my doctor recently switched my to Vyvanse. Because I had some Ritalin left, I tried it at the same time as the Vyvanse. It worked perfectly. The problem is that the DEA are quite strict, and they don't think that is cool, apparently. Some doctors, however, are fine with writing prescriptions for two ADHD drugs; I just have to find out who they are.
