Dan Pill Ritalin

My daughter gets prescribed 20mgs of Ritalin instant release (Dan 20) 3 times a day. I had to go to a different pharmacy and they gave me a yellow pill round with T 175 on one side. Is this the same thing? It doesn't seem to be working as well!!! ## Yes, it is also a generic for Ritalin, it contains 20mgs of Methylphenidate. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, insomnia, and anorexia. Has there been any change, or is she still having a problem with it? Is she on any other medications? ## Thank you and Yes she takes 0.1 mg of clonidine mood stablizer and it also helps her sleep at night ## Ahh Finally Found a Site Where I Can Get Quick Answers Without All The Login Has...

Is it safe to cut Ritalin 10mg 5883 mall green pill in half? ## Hello, Eirinnwonders! How are you? This tablet is manufactured by Watson Pharmaceuticals and they list it as being a regular release, so yes, you should be able to cut it, as long as your doctor approves. The FDA classifies this medication as a stimulant, so it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, nervousness, insomnia and weight loss. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hi, Can I open the Ritalin LA 20mg capsule and dissolve the little white balls in hot chocolate or coffee? My son just can't swallow the capsule. Your help would be much appreciated. Please reply. {edited for privacy}. ## Hello, Shelly! How are you? No, you can't dissolve them, because the LA means that this is a time released medication and doing so could cause him to get too much at once, which may result in a dangerous overdose. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, weight loss and insomnia. However, the medication guide does say that they can be sprinkled over something such as apple sauce and swallowed that way, so that should be fine, if his doctor approves. Is there anyth...

Learn more Methylphenidate details here.

What is the difference between Ritalin and Adderall, And how do you compare milligram for milligram amongst the two. Can Ritalin and Adderall both be used for ADD and ADHD? Or is one more commonly used to treat one or the other. I have ADD and use Adderall can I switch to Ritalin for the same effective result. What dose of Ritalin would I use if 30ml of Adderall is effective? ## Adderall contains a combination of Amphetamine salts. Learn more Adderall details here. Ritalin contains the active ingredient Methylphenidate. Learn more Ritalin details here. They are different substances, but both are psychostimulants that are used to treat the same conditions. They have both been proven effective, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they'll both work for any given person. This is ...

My daughter is currently on vitamin C, and Ritalin but recently I found a different pill that's been recently perscribed to her. (I do not meddle in her personal affairs) the pills are small, white, round and unmarked which makes me nervous because I've read that unmarked pills could be dangerous. They also have a break line on one side.

I need to know if this prescription is injectable. 10 pms 110? ## Pills are not made to be injectable. They contain fillers, which in some cases are meant to be expelled by the body and are not broken down. If you try to inject them, you can cause yourself dangerous problems. ## Its 10mg of Ritalin...not valium! ## It's a 10mlg pill that is blue and round it says cor on ome side then has a big x on the back

white with 5883 dan 10 ## Metyhylphenidate Info Click Here ## hi my name is shawna my son is on methylphenid i took one to find out how it feels well is possible i have adhd if my son does please tell me and also would i get in trouble at work if it was found in my urine ## Shawna, It's quite possible you have adult ADHD. But you should be diagnosed before taking medicine. By the way, Ritalin, methylphenid or methylin would all show up on a panel as methamphetamines ## you know 3 college students went into urgent care and one died in a coma at my towns college cause they took adderal (another substitute adhd pill) before their finals for focus. IT DOES NOT WORK UNLESS YOU HAVE ADHD. NEVER TAKE PILLS UNLESS PRESCRIBED........... ## the mental health close my case with them and my fam...

Hi, my 10yo son has ADHD, and he takes 60mg of Ritalin during the day. Having trouble falling asleep, 8monyhs ago we started giving him Clonidine 1 1/2 × 0.1mg at night to sleep. However he hates it, and takes forever to wake up in the morning and now we want to stop. I am only now wondering the dangers of this medication long term on a 10yo, considering what it does to BP and everything else...and my son will need this for the next 10 to 50 years! I would like to give him something else instead, but don't know what to give and how to proceed with swapping. Please help us!

Hi i am a 43year old male and i am SOUTH AFRICAN i had a appointment with my GP on the 31/10/2012 and asked her to prescribe me OXYCODONE for pain relife but she said no as i am on a dose of 60mg RITILAN for my AADD is she correct by not giving me a script of OXYCODONE? ## Yes, it can be dangerous to combine them, because since the Oxycodone is a narcotic, it's basically like a downer and the Ritalin is like an upper. Learn more Oxycodone details here. Learn more Ritalin details here. Combining such opposites can be dangerous and, for some people, even life threatening. Are there any other questions? ## Hey I am a 30 yr old man that has had 4 back surgeries. I also take adderall which is very similar to Ritt. U have legit pain and can prove it then I would go to the doctor and expla...

Today, my boyfriends 6 year old son was started on Vyvanse. His father has been fighting the medicating of his son in court; we are now court ordered to give the med. This bright, energetic boy is perfect as he is: behaviors are mainly while with Mom, which is 80% of his time. I am heart sick as I read about the dangers, side effect and anger caused by this med. I come to this with some knowledge. I have a 24 year old daughter who was diagnosed as ADHD and took Ritalin for about 10 years. I regret that decision; she and I both hated the med, and used it only for school hours. The primary side effects for that were primarily loss of appetite. She did take Adderall for 1 week; and my beautiful daughter had horrible rage alternating with episodes of weeping. Now here I am years later; with...

This substance almost feels too good to be true: An all-day stimulant with few side effects, tons of euphoria & a mild comedown. The medical literature reveals nothing untoward about it, only that it was banned in the U.S. due to "drug abuse & psychiatric events", which could certainly apply to Adderall, Desoxyn, Dexedrine, or Ritalin. Furthermore it's technically legal due to being an analogue of a CIII drug (Benzphetamine). So not truly "banned", just not approved for prescription or sale. As we all know, there are no free lunches in the drug world. So what am I missing about clobenzorex? Is it uniquely toxic to the heart? Brain? Does it raise blood pressure more than other uppers; damage the liver or kidneys in some way? (Examples of uniquely dangerous sti...
