How to stop a 5 year old from biting people?
The developmental pediatrician who diagnosed him suggested trying Adderall - but we can’t see how that would help the biting any more than the
methylphenidate
did. Another pediatrician in the practice suggested guanfacine, which seems like a better option than another stimulant.

Trying to be more social.
I am a 22yr old (M), formerly medicated with
methylphenidate
but stopped when trying to enter the Airfare, graduated college with associates degree, and work full time at a job which exhausts me and is unlikely to yield any future.

New to Vyvanse 30mg... Not sure it's working yet... What Should I expect?
But so far, it kinda feels like I'm just on the same 60mg dose of
methylphenidate
that I've been on that has been losing its working power. I'm not sure what I expected, I am keeping a daily journal of how I'm feeling every day of my 7 day trial.

LDN for ADHD when taking Concerta?
We were wondering whether LDN can be taken while also taking ADHD meds (in this case, she is on Concerta - slow release
Methylphenidate
). We were hoping that she might be able to slowly taper off the Concerta and use LDN in the meantime to help with the ADHD.

ADHD medication and hair loss
Hi, Just wondering if anybody else has experienced hair loss as a side effect of taking ADHD meds, specifically
methylphenidate
(Concerta)? I've not been on it long (1 month), but I am very concerned that if I were to continue taking it for months/years, it'll do some serious damage.

35 year old mum recently diagnosed with ADHD, unsure of managing it
Does anyone have any similar experiences with
methylphenidate
and did u move onto a different medication and have success? I know there's coaching but again that's quite costly.

Sharing my experience concerning MTHFR mutation and ADHD
The report identified that I would likely get less satisfactory results with
methylphenidate
simulants but also less effective results with most of the non-stimulants. The class that was expected to work best were the amphetamines, so I guess I was lucky that we tried Vyvanse first.

Medication shortage severely impacting our area
We tried to switch her to Vyvanse once but she didn't like it and she's been on the same dose of
methylphenidate
for years now with great success. We are going to see her doctor soon to discuss what to do.

Ritalin (Methylphenidate)
I've saw a few post and some discussion about this, but my Oncologist suggested a low dose of Ritalin to ward off some of the fatigue and brain fog I was having from Firmagon and Zytiga. I had been reluctant to take "another pill" that comes with more side effects...so I said not for me. I know the

Mast Cell NHS Consultants?
I take 60mg lisdexamfetamine every day, clonidine at night, and
methylphenidate
as needed. I have been weaning down from 60mg of prozac with intentions to start duloxetine to help the pain. I also take omeprazole, naproxen, co-codamol, vitamin d supplements (prescribed) and a multivitamin.

why are there so many medicines in each group?
Tere are different medications that are considered
methylphenidate
. The same for amphetamines and non stimulants. I'm wondering why there are so many. Shouldn't they all be the same ? Are there any differences in the medicines in each class? If so, hat are they?

Medication Shortage? How often do you refill?
I attempted to fill our son's medication (
methylphenidate
) we are given a 60 day supply since our son is stable and I should not have to fill it every 30 days.

Progressively worse stimulant side effects
Yesterday she tried a Saffron tablet as there had been some discussion online about it being a natural alternative to
Methylphenidate
but 2 hours later the meltdown returned. We have absolutely NO idea what the hell is happening with this or where to begin to get her some support.
