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.

Medical Mystery, Hormones, ADHD meds?
I started
methylphenidate
in September for combination ADHD. I started taking propanalol in small doses in october for anxiety right before a family trip, and quit it during trip due to uncertainty of whether or not it was causing my dizziness while on vacay.

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.

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.

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.

Prednisolone/Mental Health
I do have existing mental health conditions (depression and ADHD) but they're well-controlled the rest of the time (on escitalopram and
methylphenidate
) and I haven't really struggled with them for a few years now.

Young kids saying they want to die??
(My son is currently in behavioral therapy and on guanfacine. he will soon be trying
methylphenidate
instead, as guanfacine did not work and had adverse side effects.)

Zoloft for 7 yr old
First, it was a huge struggle for me to put my son on medication after his trials of
methylphenidate
and Adderall did not help his meltdowns at all. I finally was able to find a board certified clinical psychiatrist who honed in on his anxiety and suggested either Prozac or Zoloft.

Medication Regulation
I am currently taking a low dosage of Ritalin (
Methylphenidate
) 10mg for my ADHD along with an anti-depressant. I have the Inattentive ADHD, I struggle mainly with all of the executive functioning. What I have been struggling with is knowing how to evaluate if I need a higher dosage?

Stimulants for ADT fatigue?
Has anyone tried Ritalin (
methylphenidate
) or some similar stimulant for ADT fatigue? Doing some research last night, I found another bulletin board where TALL ALLEN referenced 7 years ago the 1st article listed below, by Richard et al, on the use of Ritalin for ADT fatigue.

ADHD medication questions
I was wondering if anyone can tell me what feeling you get from
methylphenidate
? My husband started these meds 12/31 and has increased it every month since. He has had past addictions and currently battling the last one.

Pine bark extract supplement?
Just had a bad experience with Aderol after
methylphenidate
messed with my son’s sleep so I’m not really into this expensive trial & error method of drug experimentation. Of course supplements are expensive as well but I guess I feel less guilty about them.

ADHD update
My
methylphenidate
aka Concerta. That’s the brand I take. It’s working, though the side effect of suppressed appetite is apparent. I’m at a healthy weight and the doctor and I agreed to watch it. My anxieties are still there and I can get wrapped up in my head, but I’m better at handling it.

Our 12 year old daughter with ADHD has started taking candy/food and lying about it. She has been gaining weight but we cannot convience her
She is on 70mg
Methylphenidate
and 2mg Guanfacine. She's been on this medication for several years, and it seemed like she had built up a tolerance for used the
Methylphenidate
. So, We tried everything else under the sun over the last 1.5 years but somehow are back to
Methylphenidate
.
