User Reviews for Ritalin SR oral

Very helpful in lifting the "fog". Have been on this for years and it has been life changing.

This drug made me so irritable it was hard to know if it was effective or not. Switched to Adderall and it has worked well.

I was on ritalin xr 20mg three times a day and it would still wear off. I slept fine but it took three months for me to realize it had made me so efficient that everyone else was just in my way... I started getting very aggravated and had severe headaches when it wore off. It definitely helped me focus and deal with the scattered thoughts of add/adhd but the side effects became not worth it. When my friends started asking why I was so cranky all the time I started to worry and took myself off it. I had a very add week but no headaches or irritability issues. I am now on vyvanse and so far it seems to be treating my symptoms with no major side effects. It calms me down, and I don't feel irritable, also I do not have headaches when it wears off. The only thing is, after reading many reviews, it seems very bad for small children. Also, the first day I took it I forgot to eat. So I now eat three meals a day, hungry or not. I hope this helps with your add experience if you are un-medicated I am sure you stopped reading after the first three words...Read More Read Less

ADD

Does not keep me awake with my narcolepsey...Don't even feel it...

helped me calm down and be at a normal pace

I started taking ritalin for nacolepsy issues 3 times a day but having a rollercoaster effect. then started taking the ritalin sr and along with the fast acting one and finding both works great for me.

Really does it's job. Can now focus on complex problems as if they were grade school math.

Very good drug.

I have been on various varieties of ADD meds. This one, my Generic LA Ritalin seems to be not nearly as effective as was my brand Concerta LA (it was far too expensive for me}.I don't know what an average dose is but 2 #20's in Am AND 1 #20 mid afternoon doesn't cut it. I was told originally to take all 3 in the AM. This doesn't work for me, but don't know what to do. Also, sometimes it says Methefenadate and sometimes Methalyn! What's the difference?

It certainly does give me the concentration boost I need and I enjoy several hours of complete clarity. Sustained release however it is not! It is a quick hit for a few hours and that's it. It cost more that the regular Ritalin but no additional benefits in my opinion

i just got prescibed the ritalin sr i had nausea always wanted to sleep i was able to focus but not willing to sleep all the time

was just prescribed Ritalin SR for other issues. I liked the effect but NOT the side effects. HORRIBLE headache,vomiting,nausiated.Felt like I was speeding.

I have been taking RitLIN FOR OVER 7 YEARS FOR FIBRO, CHRONICFATIQE, bRAIN FOG.iT HAS DONE AWONDERFUL JOB FOR ME.nOT MANY OCS KNOW ABOUT IT FOR THIS PURPOSE, BUT IT WORKS BETTER THAN ANY OTHER MED I HAVE BEEN PRESCRIBED

child has been getting progressively worse since starting use...

I am taking this drug because of sleep apena so I can drive but wondering if this drug makes you shaky does thia happen to anybody

I went to my doctor complaing of excessive sleepiness. No matter how much i slept or took care of my health i needed naps to get through the day and was always tired. I also tested positive for ADHD but not very bad. The short acting ritalin was a roller coaster and I ended up sleepier. This isnt a cure all but it definitely is great to have to help me through the day.

have to take doses at regular intervals during the day previously taking quick release that wore off to quickly what are the long term effects. if taking med for extended period of time. years
