is dexmethylph the same as dexmethylphenidate hcl? The pills in each bottle look alike both have a "D" on one side of the pill and a 10 on the other side. Labels are showing different names. One reads dexmethylph and the other reads dexmethylphenidate HCL. Are they the same exact pill? ## Yes, it's just been abbreviated on one of the labels. The FDA classifies this medication as a stimulant and warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming. It may also cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability and weight loss. Is there anything else I can help with?

can you take 20mg of Dexmethylphenidate with 100 mg Gabapentin? I want to make sure that my son can take both at the same time or should I wait until his meds are wear off. my son takes Dexmeth early morning and another one at 2pm and Gabapentin at nights at 9 pm. the 2 pm dexmeth is only a 15mg. ## Hello, Tricia! How are you? The Dexmethylphenidate can increase the effects of the Gabapentin, but it is not considered a dangerous interaction, it is only listed by the FDA as being a minor one. Thus, he may experience more nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and dry mouth than usual, so he should only take them both if they have been prescribed for him. Is there anything else I can help with?

I'm taking dexmethylphenadate er (I think that's how you spell it) 20mg. I just started taking it Friday morning and on my second dose today. Is it common to feel very tired and sleepy when my body is getting used to it? Plus ever since Friday I've been going number 2 a lot. Should I be worried or is this common with this medication? ## Hello, David! How are you? Yes, the FDA does list those issues as being possible side effects of this medication. You may also experience nausea, dizziness and, eventual insomnia. However, they are usually transient and tend to go after about 4 to 5 weeks, once your body gets used to a medication. Is there anything else I can help with?

What is the best route of administration to get the most effects? ## This tablet contains 30mgs of Dexmethylphenidate, the active ingredient in Focalin, which is most commonly used to treat ADHD. The best route of administration is to take the tablets, by swallowing them orally, just as they are prescribed. It is not safe to try to use them in any other manner, because they are not formulated to be used that way, so it could result in overdose, or other health complications. Are there any other comments or questions?

Is adderal and focalin made out of the same ingredients ## No, they are not. Adderall contains mixed Amphetamine salts. Learn more Adderall details here. And Focalin contains Dexmethylphenidate. Learn more Focalin details here. They are commonly used to treat many of the same conditions, but the active ingredients are different. Have you been switched from one to the other? ## My son is being treated for ADD as was his older brother many years ago. Like his brother, it was trial and error to find a med that didn't produce unwanted emotional side effects. Adderal didn't work for either and now the doctor is suggesting Focalin. Doing my research it appears that Focalin may have more addictive/dependency side effects. True?
