| Add Methylin review Dr. gave me this bc it was cheaper than Adderall XR (which worked like a charm) but this isn't helping at all. In fact it is causing other issues....like I am super ill and snap with little control of myself. It doesn't just limit my talking... I don't want to talk at all.... and I don't want to hear anyone else talk either.... not even on tv. And I am suppose to take it 2 times a day....well the second time I can't even remember if I took it or not. And it doesn't help me focus.... instead I kind of zombie out and don't think at all... I just stare. It makes me ill and paranoid....I miss my adderall My son is 10 years old and has been taking Ridalin since he was 6 years old along with 36mg of Concerta in the morning. His origial doseage was 5mg twice a day once at 4PM and again at 7PM however last year I spoke with our family DR and informed him that it seemed as though at times it made it to where he could not go to sleep he would lay there in bed and stare at the ceiling or mess around for 3-4 hours after going to bed so we decided to cut out the 7PM dosage. However, he still has this problemm at times. I have also noticed that there are times that this medicine seems to help and then other times he still bounces off the wall so I have had mixed feelings about it. I am thinking it is time to re-evaluate him and maybe try something differant. | Add Ritalin review At first it was great it gave my the motivation to start and finish my projects. Where before I never had the desire to do anything. You will get a burst of happiness and you want to talk to people a very good feeling. But then there is a coming down time this is awful. I got very angry and confused I really don't think I could even walk right. I just don't think this is a good drug I think it is ... I put my son on this med in the middle of the school year and he was behind and wanting to hold him back even at the middle of the year.. After he got on it he jumped a grade level and is doing great.. He say it helps his head feel better!! LOVE THIS Medication does work. Too easy to use and control own dosage. Saved then binged on special occasions. Have been taking Ritalin 35 mg/day for 18 yrs. for ADHD. I am now 65 y/o with a thriving psychotherapy practice. It has helped me focus and stay calm -- wish I'd started it in my 20's. | |||
