Ritalin (methylphenidate): This medicine is doing it's job. I actually fell asleep standing up in my dining room. Hit my chin on the table (ouch). Now, I don't fall asleep at inappropriate times (after I take my first dose). I do have concerns about it's habitual possibilities, which I must say, my doctor did not warn me about. I will have to keep a close watch on my behavior I guess, but it is working.

Ritalin (methylphenidate): This medication works awesome for me. I have narcolepsy and been on it for about 6 months now. I take 3 x 10mg tabs a day and I skip Wednesday's. I am alert, awake and without any side effects.

Ritalin (methylphenidate): I had to quit Ritalin, despite starting on a very small dose, because it gave me tremors and a "wired" (but not alert) feeling. The problems did not diminish within 2 weeks, and that was all I could stand.

Ritalin-SR (methylphenidate): I didn't give this a 10 simply because I don't feel it last as long as it should. However, during the time I do take it, it's great. Wide awake without being jittery. Good stuff.

Ritalin (methylphenidate): I really like it. The only thing about the Ritalin is that you get a slight rush and then it seems to wear off before it should. My dosage was doubled and that seemed to work out a lot better. It truly does the job as I don't fall asleep all the time.
