Ritalin (methylphenidate) for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Racing heart and head rushes when you first start taking the medicine... It was my life saver for high school and college and even now through life.. I can actually accomplish things in an orderly fashion. 0 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you?

Ritalin (methylphenidate) for Narcolepsy: 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. 3 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you?

Ritalin (methylphenidate) for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Ritalin is a great medication for ADHD. I stay focused and on task. I am on 10 mg. up from 5 mg, which wasn't quite optimal. 1 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

Ritalin (methylphenidate) for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): My doctor originally put me on Ritalin, and I stayed on it for 2 months. It made me very sick to my stomach, although it did improve my concentration. I have since switched to another medication and am doing much better. 27 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you?
