Daytrana patch
I really want my son to try it because he doesn’t handle the oral
methylphenidate
very well when the drug concentration goes up and down quickly in his blood/brain. He has a really bad rebound when it decreases and gets anxious when med is increasing.

How long it takes for methylphenidate to take effect?
My 8 years old daughter started taking
methylphenidate
of 2.5 mg once a day for the past week because of her lack of concentration during class. However, neither the teacher or I see any changes. Any suggestions?

New
I spoke with my peds and we started on
Methylphenidate
10 mg. There was no change in his behavior and so it was uped it to 20 mg at which point he started to get very emotional. His meds were changed to Adderall 10 mg and he again became very emotional.

Good news and bad
I met with my neurologist this morning, and he wrote me a prescription for
methylphenidate
, for fatigue. Modafinil and amantadine did nothing for me, but maybe this will. I plan to begin trialing it tomorrow - I'll let you know how it goes!

Frustrated, anxious and a I've become a pushover!!
He has been failing and
Methylphenidate
and Vyvanse both didn't work, cause very bad side effects. He's finally with a week into the new grading period getting some decent grades, but I've had to hold his hand. His attitude is that it will be okay. He has no sense of urgency!

Methylphenidate to treat add while on Lupron ?
Anyone have any issues with add meds like
methylphenidate
while on Lupron post radiation ?? This is only to treat add diagnosis and not any tiredness or lethargy from any treatment related to PC.

Krill oil?
My son is currently on the lowest dose of
methylphenidate
and it's working wonders to help him at school. Has anyone had good experience using krill oil either alone or with a medication?

Feeling Overwhelmed
We're on February break and just started guanfacine (the
methylphenidate
didn't work well), so hopefully when he goes back to school things will be better. I have no clue what to do this summer (I'm a single mom and dad is not involved). Last summer he got kicked out of camp for behavior issues.

Changing my son's school
He started meds (
Methylphenidate
first, didn't work--- now Vyvanse which caused lots of side effects). He's failing all his core classes because of classic ADD. From K-6 he went to a small private school and did fantastic. I called the principal at the school in tears and explained everything.

New here; hypothyroidism symptoms not improving with levothyroxine, what can I do?
She has prescribed
methylphenidate
(a stimulant) to help with the fatigue, and it's early but so far it hasn't helped. My period finally returned this week (albeit a very heavy one, with especially painful cramps), and my appetite is more normal, but everything else has been exactly the same.

4 yo Son diagnosed with extreme ADHD, prescribed Ritalin. I fear I am making a mistake by giving it to him.
The psychologist strongly suggested that he needs medication so we took him to his pediatrician and she prescribed Ritalin. 5mg short acting
methylphenidate
2x daily.

Addicted to my medication
They put me on
methylphenidate
and before I knew it, 60 pills were going missing every 2-3 days. Of course it didn't happen at first, and it took me a year to get to this point but now I can't fix it.

Confused and overwhelmed
I currently take only the prescription drugs directed by my neurologist which consist of rytary, amantadine, ropinerole,
methylphenidate
. I exercise daily but it’s not enough and my progression downward continues, I’m freezing up more often, my tremors are getting worse etc.
