			<title>Should I take my new Concerta and Ritalin if I&#039;m feeling like crap today?</title>
			<description><![CDATA[
I just started taking Concerta ER 18mg in mornings as Ritalin IR in the afternoon for my ADHD this week. So far so good. I still figuring out when the best times in the morning and afternoon are to take them, and how to prevent/ deal with a crash at night and/or prevent insomnia issues... but I expect those are typical growing pains when starting these kinds of meds. 
My real question is this:
This is my first Saturday since starting the meds. I have been going nonstop all week literally not...

			<description><![CDATA[
I&#039;m so confused. Why is it that all of a sudden every young boy has ADHD? Before it was ADD but now they are considered hyperactive as well. Since when does the government and society have the right to say who is normal and who is not? I thought boys were supposed to be more hyper than girls. That&#039;s in their nature. Now it&#039;s a brain malfunction because teachers want them to sit still and not call out if they know the answer. Smh I&#039;ve met with every social worker in the...

			<description><![CDATA[
I&#039;ve been prescribed 100 mg methylphenidate per day in 3 doses for the last 15 years. My doctor is switching me to Adderal XR 20 mg instead. I tried this change yesterday and felt like I had not taken anything. I don&#039;t think I took enough Adderal XR. I&#039;d like to know what would be the equivalent dose of Adderal XR after switching from 100 mg/day of immediate release methylphenidate. Thank you!

Can I take phentermine (for weight loss) &#38; Ritalin (for focus at work) together? I checked the Interaction Checker and there were none reported but I took them together today and I have sort of a headache. It could be from not eating or maybe I&#039;m just thirsty but I just want to make sure I&#039;m not doing myself harm. Not in a position to ask my doctor since my health insurance lapsed but I&#039;m healthy apart from needing to lose 40 lbs. and I don&#039;t have any allergies/allergic...

My 79-year-old mother had a very large benign brain tumor removed January 20, 2016. She had a seizure that evening, which left her with stroke-like symptoms.

Immediately her energy level increased, she was able to participate in physical therapy and her cognition and engagement returned. Sadly, one month post-surgery she fell and broke her hip. She was moved to a...

			<description><![CDATA[
I&#039;ve been on Ritalin- just wondering what others&#039; experiences have been on both Ritalin and Concerta.
Ritalin helps me focus but it makes me a complete jerk. I get so angry and I&#039;m anxious. But I think it&#039;s the only medication that has helped me. Adderall makes me tired. Vyvanse gets me going for 3 hours and then makes me tired. 
Does Concerta have really bad side effects?

Medications for anxiety cause me to have mood severe swings (Klonapin, Xanax, Valium) medications for ADHD that work, cause anxiety. I have been on Adderall, Ritilin, and Vyvance, which worked great for adhd but increased anxiety. Have been on Welbutrin and Strattera and they did not really help that much for ADHD, and I stayed sleepy all the time. I would love to get a job, but the idea of having to deal with people in public on a daily basis scares the hell out of me. Sometimes I think I am...
