Finally getting my med!
Because of the shortage, I wasnt able to get
Ritalin
so my doctor prescribed generic adderall until I was able to get it. My question is: does anyone know how many hours after taking my last dose of Adderall can I start on
Ritalin
again?

Teen ADHD w anxiety and depression very low motivation
Hates the way Adderall makes her feel -no appetite- but had a very bad reaction to
Ritalin
. Just cannot motivate to do much. Needs to sleep a lot. Is playing sport a few times a week, but almost never does homework and is struggling in school as a result.

meds plateauing
My 5 yr old son seems to respond to
Ritalin
for about a month before his poor behavior and impulsivity starts up again. This includes all dose changes and time of day changes etc. he does well then he starts to regress. Is this normal?

Ritalin And Prozac or Zoloft
anyone have experience giving their young child both
Ritalin
and medication for anxiety like Prozac or Zoloft? My son is 5 and his doctor is considering this to help curb some of his anxiety symptoms but we’re nervous about adding another drug into the mix at such a young age.

Non-Stimulant Medication with Heart condition
I was on
Ritalin
up until the age of 16, but when I became an adult and have a heart condition, the doctors wouldn't give me stimulant meds. Your heart isn't as strong as it is when you're a child they say.

I need help now
Like I said above I started taking
Ritalin
in 2000 and have been on it non-stop since that time. But, as you can also see it has changed my life in many positive ways.

fatigue
Additionally, several small trials have found an increase in energy with the use of stimulants such as methylphenidate (
Ritalin
), dexmethylphenidate (Focalin) and modafinil (Provigil).

Potential advice and help
I already was diagnosed with ADD and am dislexic so I take
Ritalin
for my ADD anyway. I’m also on venlaphaxin for depression but I was wondering if anyone could recommend anything that has helped clear their head space. My ongoing symptoms are fatigue & brain fog.

Morning Struggles With Young Son
He is on
Ritalin
, which when kicks in works pretty good. It seems to work better though if I give it to him before breakfast. But if I do that then his stomach starts to hurt pretty bad. I've switched to after breakfast but then it seems as though it's much less effective.

Which meds helped emotional dysregulation?
He tried
ritalin
and concerta, but we didn't notice any improvement in any symptoms, and had a few undesirable side effects, so we went off. At the time, he really didn't want any medication, so we didn't continue the search. (We homeschool, so we're mostly able to work around the focus stuff.)

Vyvanse titration and career thoughts/tangent
- For those that are adding short acting stimulants to the Vyvanse,
Ritalin
or Adderall, did you find these made the Vyvanse less effective? and do you now take them every day or just when you need them? Appreciate your thoughts!

Ritalin backordered
Anyone else having a problem getting their
Ritalin
prescription filled. I understand there have been shortages. But I just want to know if there is anyone else having to go without due to shortages of
Ritalin
at this time.

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.
