Vyvanse with Gabapentin. Prescribed both for different conditions, but should they be taken together? Any Thoughts?
Dear Readers & Fellow Sufferers, I am still pretty new here, and I recently switched from
methylphenidate
to
Vyvanse
to help my battle with ADHD.

Medication dosage too high?
I have a question for those of you, who take
methylphenidate
. How do you know, if the dosage of
methylphenidate
is too high?

XaggitinXL-Elvanse-ConcertaXL
Each med has its own way of delivery: OROS MPH This means: Osmotic-release oral system of
Methylphenidate
. Different brands have patents that deliver the MPH in different ways. This can have a dramatic effect on how your body reacts to the osmosis and the concentration of each released dose.

Previous studies in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have reported that treatment with dopamine agonists like
methylphenidate
can reduce striatal Glx levels (47), although
methylphenidate
did not appear to influence frontal Glx levels, (47) and another study of medication-naïve

10 year old ODD symptoms
He started on a low-dose of sertraline, Then we added
methylphenidate
10 mg ER and gradually increased it to 20. We eventually weaned him off sertraline and started him in 2 mg of guanfacine.

2 Long acting stimulants per day?
We do a 10mg booster of short acting
methylphenidate
in the afternoon at 2pm(because thats the med he was on previous before the focalin) but again thats out of his system by 4pm and even so does not give the same benefits we see with the focalin so evenings can be challenging.

On Methylphenidate for Life?
am currently on 72 mg of
Methylphenidate
. I take a rapid release in the morning, and then 54 mg ER later in the day. I have been on these meds for 8 years, and to be honest I really like who I am in where I am in life both personally and professionally.

Is it normal for Concerta to feel like it's doing nothing?
I am usually on a generic brand of
methylphenidate
, called Teva. That's not available right now, because of supply chain issues, so I am on Concerta instead. It's been a few days, and I can safely say it's not doing what it should. The Teva was sustained release, and lasted around 24 hours.

Boys fighting and escalating
I tried him on 5mg of
Methylphenidate
but he gets nauseous and at this point, refuses to take it. He’s really good at school and during sports and for other people but he’s really hard for me to manage. Things were really hard for him during lockdown and his tantrums were really bad.

Finally starting medication--what now?
My last year of highschool I was on Concerta xr (
methylphenidate
). It helped, but took a high dose to do so, which sometimes ended up too much. I asked for the short release for this so it could be more controllable and wouldn't ruin a day if it acted weird.

COVID brain impact similar to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
I couldn't get prescribed
Methylphenidate
. Modafinil works to a good extent but my insurance wouldn't pay for it so I have to buy online. I still don't know if Neurological Fatigue and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome are one and the same.

Richie has been on Fluoxetine and
Methylphenidate
for almost a year now. For the most part the depression is under control and our biggest struggle is getting to school on time and getting work done.

Methylphenidate XR vs Instant
I am taking 27mg XR, (upped from 18mg a week ago) and have also been prescribed 5mg instant
methylphenidate
to take 'at night', to see if it helps mood swings/ struggle to sleep. I have received Xaggitin in my prescription for the first time, when up until now have been on Concerta XR.

Opinions on medications
They started treating my son with
methylphenidate
, but increasing the dose made him feel ... fatal, because he was very very nervous with tics. The doctor told me to switch to Atomoxetine 10mg, 1 capsule at night.

Methylphenidate Side Effects?
I recently started
methylphenidate
hydrochloride for my ADHD, (brand name Xaggitin Xl) and I’ve had no side-effects so far other than a bit more anxiety than usual for the first hour after my dose, I already have anxiety though so this isn’t a huge issue.

Any success stories with methylphenidate?
Hi all— I spoke with my son’s psychiatrist about his heightened aggression on guanfacine, so he suggested a slow-release
methylphenidate
tablet, and we are giving it a try with my 6 1/2 year old son.

Frustrations with my psychiatrist/am I overreacting?
I feel like I can't take another two months of not only the ADHD hell but the side effects of the
methylphenidate
especially the anxiety with barely any positive results to taking it.
