Common Questions and Answers about Ritalin overdose emedicine
ritalin
My son has been on ritalin for 12 months he is now 6 and the last week he has just developed eye movements that i was concerned might be a tic. He is extremely anxious , especially when on his medication in strange unfamiliar settings but does quite well at school and has lots of friends.
He has been out of routine of late with school holidays and 10 weeks ago had a increase in medication to 1 tab in the morning 1/2 at lunch and 1/2 at 3.30 pm.
2 months ago, and guessing that my exam would be in January or February,I decided that I needed extra help to give a boost in my mental abilities. So,I decided to take ritalin until the exam, then I would quit. I remember taking this meds when I was 18 years old to study for my final exam to enter in university.
At the beginning I used to take as prescribed,3 tabs of 20mg a day. I upped the dose as the weeks passed. I was amazed with my results, I could study the whole day and got not tired.
we buried him last summer of a pill overdose. so they are addicting, and if you are questioning your use of em u prolly have a problem. best of luk to ya, and remember that no grade or study is worth losing yourself for....
Headache on left front side with a crazy visual aura, took zomig, hour later took ibuprofen 600, albuterol sulfate and Ritalin. Cold and hot feeling across skin, mostly on right side, nausea, joint pain, burning pain in abdomen and chest, dizzy, tired and short of breath. Migrating sharp pains across body. Ringing ears. Vision is unnaturally blurry. Chest and stomach symptoms worsen when laying down, head symptoms worsen when standing up.
t slept, there is a tightness around my heart/chest, and I feel like my body really wants to move. Almost like my skin is crawling and shaking. What should I do? Did I maybe overdose? Should I be worried? Please tell me how to make this feeling go away.
I have MS and this is why I am asking about Ritalin instead of the 600 mg of provigil i take every Morning

If it is arteritic then large doses of oral cortison are needed to get the sed rate down. The section on emedicine is especially good.
If its non-arteritic there is no treatment for the eye problem and visual recovery is usually good. Again emedicine entry is excellent.
s a very complicated disease and not easy to describe. I suggest you do internet search on WebMD or emedicine and see if you have any further questions. Starbursts are not a common symptoms in AZOOR and more suggestive of cataracts, cornea problems, need for glasses or new glasses RX or macular problems.
For instance, if a person is on 30mg of Adderall and wants to switch to Ritalin,..you will need aprox. 50 to 60mg of Ritalin to be equivelant to the 30mg of Adderall. I am on 60mg of Adderall daily. I wanted to try Ritalin again just for the heck of it. 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.
Hi, I am 54 years old, female. From around 1964 to 1969 I was put on Ritalin to control what they called a perceptual disorder/hyperactivity. I was also put on Phenobarbital for around 9 months when the Ritalin did not appear to be working. The Phenobarbital made me psychotic and prone to violent meltdowns. It was several months before anyone made the connection. I was then returned to Ritalin and remained on it until I reached puberty.
One of the side effects of Ritalin is paresthesia, probably because of circulation problems to the extremities.
This made me think that Ritalin also reduced blood flow to other parts of the body, possible the brain. This idea alarmed me, and made me search PubMed frantically.
Here are a few studies I found:

Hi
Did you ever find out if the tingling and numbness was related to adderall? I am asking because I had been taking addrall for several weeks and experieced toe numbness/tingling which eventually expanded up my feet. I stoped taking it immediately and told my doctor who doesn't see how the med and the experience is related. He prescribed me ritalin instead, but befor i take it i want to determine the reasoning for my experience.
Hello.
These two conditions are not noticed with Ritalin. You may have had them coincidentally.
Adult ADD is associated with a lot of other psychological problems. To avoid them, you should try and take Ritalin regularly.
Can you mention if you had AD/HD symptoms in the childhood?
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.
The last time I had wanted adderrall all I could get my hands on was Ritalin, which is from what I was told was pretty much the same as adderrall, as well as similar dosages. When I took the 40mg ritalin I concluded that it was pretty much equivalent to a 30mg adderrall. So anyway back to that night!
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.
