CBT and sticking to therapy
I have been on methylphenidate in different forms, Concerta, and
Ritalin
. Currently, I am on a 60mg dose of
Ritalin
(IR). I started therapy, more specifically Mindfulness-Integrated CBT, 3 months ago. After reading about it, I felt like it could help me.

Looking for advice/opinions. Big issue with medication. Need help! - New to ADHD
My past used to include taking recreational substances such as cocaine and I can't help but draw similarities with the
ritalin
wearing off to when that recreational substance wears off.

side effects of Adderall
I initially had my 5 yr old son on low dose 2.5mg
Ritalin
for 1 week and a half but it didn’t last as long during the school day. The dr switched him to Adderall this past week and my son’s behavior got worse. His teachers said he was angrier for longer periods of time and more irritable.

First med
Doctor sent wrong med on script (
Ritalin
LA) into pharmacy and my preferred pharmacy doesn't have it anyway. I know things are going to continue to go left sometimes. But damn, I'm just tired. Trying not to expect the worst.

Qelbree
I have tried
Ritalin
, Adderall and Strattera.
Ritalin
gave me bad mood swings, Adderall made my heart race and increase irritation and Stattera made me super sleepy. I am very sensitive to medication and so my doctor opted to try me on this new non-stimulant.

Ritalin Long Acting vs Immediate Release
Hi All, I tried switching to LA
Ritalin
(20mg). I noticed that LA makes me a bit more slow and sluggish Although does last longer. It's like random waves and unpredictable. Although it lasts longer. Short acting makes me more energetic and lively. Like short burst of energy.

Side effects of Adderall XR
I find vyvanse and/or
Ritalin
to be helpful in terms of making me alert and functional which of course has the secondary benefit of improving my executive function issues.

Has anyone tried saffron?
There was a very short article in Pyschology Today that said children and adolescents who took 30 mg of a saffron extract had the same positive effects as the group that stayed on
Ritalin
. It said it greatly helped with executive function, anxiety and depression. Has anyone tried this?

homeschool
When I was a child, my brother was diagnosed with ADHD and dislexia and was on
Ritalin
. I remember feeling I had lost my brother, my friend, my partner in mischief, he became so serious, irritable, boring and not hungry.

Need Small Support group for Adult Males who cannot take Rx for ADHD but are refining/building successful coping strategies
I took
Ritalin
first for about a month and then atomoxetine, or generic strattera, and they both absolutely destroyed my ability to sleep, which made everything worse. Wow... I do not wish that on anoyne.

Adult ADHD
Taking
Ritalin
has the same feeling in my brain as that moment you sink away into a warm bath. It is quiet, peaceful and calm in there. The world is organized, my thoughts lined up. Tasks for the day gets done. Bipolar meds are amazing in keeping my mood stable and consistent.

Anyone here unmedicated?
In turn, I saw a nurse-practitioner (doctors near me were not accepting new patients) who prescribed
Ritalin
in a very low dose which did help a little. I had to stop seeing her because I could not afford more insurance co-payments.

ADHD Medication update
I caught up with my Psychiatrist and he said that I should try methylphenidate and he specifically recommended
Ritalin
(10mg) - I am only taking 5mg for a start but may increase after.
