Should I just continue with the
methylphenidate
and put up with the regime?! Also, he’s on non branded
methylphenidate
- anyone think the branded version is significantly different? Any advice greatly appreciated x

What do I do with my new provider taking the medication that saved my life? plus him treating me as if I were worthless..
The
methylphenidate
helped a good 40%. Enough to get me out of it and start working on things. But without it, I am scared. And he made me feel worthless, subhuman, hopeless for my medications and my diagnosis. It was an hour of this.

I need a doctor who will listen to me!
(I've taken gabapentin,
methylphenidate
, and clonazepam without any issues.) My doctor is condemning me to a life of suffering because of his own fears. I need a doctor, not a parent.

We haven't even tried
Methylphenidate
yet. Suggestions on what I should do? Should I try finding a new doctor? I find that very hard to select a good doctor. She went up to the 50 mg on Adderal very reluctantly and I still don't think it helps me.

Ritalin and RLS

Need therapy suggestions for anger and violent behavior
I don't know whether or not the
methylphenidate
has had anything to do with it. She has not taken it in the 5 weeks she's been off school and the behavior continues. Thanks in advance!

10yr old adhd, tics, aggression, bullying sibling
We have had to take him off
methylphenidate
because it caused his tics to become much worse. He has had some transient tics since being 6 but has consistently struggled with verbal tics since October (he started medication in January).

Combined drugs
Hello- my 5 yr old was prescribed
methylphenidate
18mg (concerta). We started it this morning. An hour later he’s spinning out of control as if on speed.

Undiagnosed chest and head pain and hypertension.
I was rushed to hospital and told it was possibly an arrhythmia caused by medication I’d just been put on (
methylphenidate
and Mirtazapine). I was told to come off medication until my heart had been checked by cardiology. Due to lockdown I’m still waiting for this to happen.

Anyone use Methylphenidate for fatigue?
Dr. gave me a script for Ritalin (
methylphenidate
) to try and see if that helps. I basically don't get off the couch - between the pain of my C5-6 met and the fatigue. Thoughts?

Switching meds
He is currently taking
methylphenidate
20mg. But I think it's actually starting to give him more anxiety and behaviors. He has a doctors appt. Soon and I wanted to talk to the doctor about switching meds. I've been doing research and found a drug called abilify.

Struggling 18 year old
He just started on
methylphenidate
a month ago. It has helped with his focus. I think the hardest thing for me is to watch him struggle so much with relationships.I am wondering if this is ever going to get any better for him. It’s so hard to watch him struggle.

Technology in education is horrible for ADHD students to follow. Horrible. I'm so tired. 🙁
He was previously on
methylphenidate
and Vyvanse. They both caused him bad side effects and made him ill. He has a 504 plan and I keep serious watch over his grades. I feel like I'm in school as well! The way education is set up today with technology doesn't help.

Concerta and gastritis. Also question about Strattera.
She took 36 mg
methylphenidate
er, and about a week in got really bad gastritis. I stopped her on that, and am waiting until it’s better before starting her on anything else. From what I’ve researched, it seems like every doctor’s first choice is a stimulant.

ADHD Weekly -- Research Finds Lower Risk of Uncommon Side Effect Than Previously Thought
A very small number of teens and young adults who first begin the stimulant
methylphenidate
can experience a psychotic event, an uncommon side effect where they might see or hear something that is not there. Stopping the medication will make the side effect go away.

Medication not working?
He’s been on generic Concerta
Methylphenidate
30mg. is his current dosage. My son is very aware that he is different, wants to fit in so bad. He says they treat him like a baby.

"Unspecified Attention Disorder"-- is this "real" ADHD?
Hi all, In brief, I sought treatment for depressive episodes about a year ago, and after a few months meeting with the psychiatrist, an ADHD packet, etc, he gave a diagnosis of "Unspecified Attention Deficit Disorder; Unspecified Depressive Disorder", and started me on
Methylphenidate
.
