"I can't stay awake without it. I was taking 36 mg of Concerta at 6 a.m., another 36 at 8 a.m., and then falling asleep at my desk at 9. Now I still take the 6 a.m. dose, but I take the Methylin at 8 and then at 10 if I need it. I was falling asleep every day. Now I can actually stay awake! No other medicines have worked for me, and I have certainly tried a lot."

"The use of Methylin 10 mg at 08:00, again at 14:00, has made my workday productive and avoided the 'nods' at mid-day and again mid-afternoon. I had suffered with undiagnosed narcolepsy for at least 10 years, and this regimen, started 3 years ago, has saved my job and my life. (I used to sometimes almost nod off at a long interval stoplight in the mid-afternoon. 'Scary for me and you both!')"

"I just recently started this medication, and so far, it has not worked very well for me. My doctor first prescribed me Provigil, but my insurance didn't cover enough of it for me to be able to afford it. This worked pretty well for me the 1st day or 2, but now, less than a week later, I'm back to the way I was, dozing off and on all day long. I was so excited to finally have an answer and a treatment that now I'm just frustrated and sad that it's not working and afraid that something that could work for me will end up being too expensive!"

"For narcolepsy, I have taken this Methylin for years. Recently, Walmart changed to another manufacturer (CAM), and I can no longer stay awake. Feel exhausted and tired. Will change pharmacies if I cannot get this brand."

"Works just like Ritalin for me."
