- In this episode, I discuss a medication known as Ritalin (methylphenidate) and go over 3 things that you should know about it:
1. Some common side effects that you can watch out like like a decrease in appetite or weight loss. You could experience anxiety (8%) or depression (4%) as well.
2. I discuss a Black Box warning concerning dependence with methylphenidate.
3. I go over some situations in which you would not be able to use methylphenidate (contraindications). One example is marked anxiety or agitation as Ritalin my increase these symptoms.
My book is now available! It discusses my experience with Bipolar Disorder.

Been on ritalin for 3 years for my adult adhd and despite the Rollercoaster journey to learning about handling it carefully, ritalin has drastically improved my life. Ofcourse like any other medicine, ritalin isn't for everyone nor should it be used carelessly yet like I learnt from DrugTalk, if you respect the drug and your body - both will help you otherwise they might work in ways that might endanger you as well.
Don't take dislexamthetamine it's terrible
It might be whats for me because adderal 20mg SR don't do shit
You can actually cure depression and other mental illnesses , I was recommended to use psychedelic mushrooms to treat it, I micro dosed on it for a month since then I have been living a peaceful and happy, I get mine from an online vendor that specializes on the trade of psychedelic products

Hi! Do you still use it
You make good grades in school on Ritalin thanks Speed
For ADHD ?
Ritalin helped me focus, lessened my anxiety, and i quit tobacco,
My experience on Ritalin has been great benefit, one ought to take the right dosage, below is where I usually obtain mine..

I never developed a dependency because my stomach always said no, I had the runs which is why I needed to change to Atomoxetine(Straterra) instead
THIS SHOULD BE TALKED ABOUT MORE!!
Thankyou I was perscribed Ritalin at the age of 6 for 10 years at the time, and I gradually got psychosis over time. I had no clue what was going on and later found out how/what caused it
marijuana cured it strangely enough cus it can cause psychosis as well but I’ve never had any symptoms from it thankfully and it helps my adhd as well as a whole range of other things
I still have a hard time eating 8 years after stopping Ritalin
This shouldn’t be perscribed to kids, it’s quite criminal
shut up kid.
My parents had me jacked up on that stuff from 1st grade till college.
did you like it tho?
my guess is that adhd people should carve out a niche they function in. for example going out hunting for clients. @@iamtayylor
Even though I already knew all of this, I would like to commend you for taking the time to post this because you just mentioned three things that barely anyone talks about regarding this medication…
I also have a question regarding glaucoma: could continuously experiencing increased pressure in the eyes (sometimes a single eye, sometimes both eyes) after taking Ritalin for a few weeks indicate an early stage of glaucoma, in the absence of abnormal intraocular pressure readings?
I was an underweight depressed addict with anger issues when i was prescribed this, goes to show you can get prescribed anything as long as the doctors get their money
Are you okey now?
@@TheMegadeth350 i am thanks for asking, i got sober and started going to the gym and im on the up and up
Well it’s a drug for mental disorder so it seems u lied to your doctor for drugs since no one knows what’s going on in ur own head😊
@@aidanbrown6513 still using ratlin or what's up nows a days?
hey can I ask how things are now? someone I love is on Ritalin and has like completely changed I’m so worried they won’t go back to their usual selves have things gone back to normal for you?
Crystal CLEAR! BRAVO~~
I've been on methylphenidate for nine months now. I'm still waiting for the loss of appetite 😢 Otherwise, it's great. I have a lot more energy to get things done than before. I'm just as dopey as before but I get there faster! 😉
Hahahha still dopey as ever, I love that honestly. ❤
A small bit of info: I'm a 68-year-old male. I'm already on Welbutrin, Lamictal, and Trintillex. My "problem" is I can't seem to get motivated enough to do things (housekeeping, etc.) I was prescribed Ritalin today by my psychiatrist. I've not received the prescription yet, but after reading some of these comments, it's already scaring the crap out of me. My appetite comes and goes for now, but I'm not really interested in not eating. I'm also concerned about the addiction dependency this drug might give me.
She's starting me out on only 10 mg.
@@faisalnaveed3608 I appreciate your comments. Thanks
It’s early, but how are you doing with Ritalin?
@@BlackMarilynMonroe33 My PCP and Cardiologist have told me to NOT take it, so I won't be.
Thanks for your concern. 🙂
@@02chevyguy thanks for your update. I get so depressed from the mental slump a dopamine deficiency places one in (I can relate to not being able to keep house). I also have hypertension which I take medication for. I had to get a clearance just so I could start taking stimulants. I’m trying Ritalin soon, but if it doesn’t work out there are other things we can do and take for ADHD.
I have Tourette's and I've been on methylphenidate for 10 years it doesn't affect my motor tics at all.... I wonder what he meant by that
I would add that some people are experiencing neuropathy after long -term use. Has something to do with vasoconstriction. People tend to add stimulants when they are already on others, like sugar, coffee, and nicotine. Take care of your heart health!
I only take 5mg of ritalin and i havd heart palpitations
Hi I have a question about Wellbutrin,
I was hoping to get on Wellbutrin XL however, I’m worried about the increased anxiety while coming on .
Would it be ok to start Wellbutrin RS with very small doses and than switch over to XL once I’ll reach 150mg
Thank you
Hi, I think your best option is to consult with a professional so that u get a personalised care. Everyone reacts differently. Take care :)
Thanks very much indeed.
You're very welcome!
My only question. Is it common to not only lose your appetite, but for food to appear intolerably disgusting by any chance? Like for example, I used to like eggs, but on Ritalin, I can't even stand the smell, and I have to sit in another room. And because I don't have much of an appetite, forcing myself to eat just makes me feel sick. Other than that, it works really well. But as for these side effects..... Normal or could it just be something else ?
Sounds exactly like Ritalin.
Mine depends on the day. Some days I skip breakfast because food just grosses me out. But then I eat lunch right before I take the next dose. So I will get some food. But it hasn't happened to me that it is one particular food
It won't be the same for everyone…
I retain my appetite on most days while on meds.
There would be the odd day that I don't have an appetite. I force myself to eat though else the crash is really intense
Different for everyone I think I have 0 issues eating I eat 4-500 calories every 3-4 hours no problem I also get 0 side effects no headaches no crash nothing
Maybe you can compensate the effects by using a drop or two of CBD oil a bit before eating. To open up the appetite before a dinner or something
I feel very sleepy on methylphenidate, is this normal?
Any idea why it causes depersonalization for me
Can you make a video on auvelity?
I’ve been on Ritalin since I was I think 8 years old maybe younger and it’s ok for me
I'm only using it for 3 days but it feels like a crowd of loud kids left my head allowing me to finally think straight. Also, it feels time runs more slowly. Is that normal?
Yes, you can finally think clearly lol
How much mg are you on
My daughter is 8 and is on 10 mg once a day but I don’t find that it does anything to help her anxiety and obsessiveness.. she still throws a fit for every little thing
@@rabeenakhan1299 I don't think she needs ritalin lol I think that's called being a child. Why're you trying to turn your daughter into a zombie.

I have massive anxiety from Ritalin.
a lot of people do... (a hell of a lot more than 4%)
I had to come off it because my anxiety level was insane.
Are you on SR or immediate release? What dosage are you taking? Perhaps try switching to immediate release and taking the absolute lowest dosage that helps you. Concerta/Focalin which are extended release gave me anxiety but immediate release ritalin makes me feel great and elevates my mood and focus. You have to re-dose a lot but it gives you more control.
can i take before exams for mory poer and for anixty
@TerminalCreedhow to give orders
I wonder if you combine it with supplements such as NALT and L-Theanine? would that balance things out? AS you've said, Ritalin can cause side effects such as anxiety and depression
I actually used l theanine and still do for sleep. And if I feel anxious with my medication it helps. Also I found that getting good sleep, eating around or after I take my meds helps with a lot. Plus it doesn’t rip my stomach apart.
@@xxcapxr3611 What are other alternatives to L-Theanine?
Good point I think would help
Yes we combine with several supplements: Omega-3's, l-theanine, DL-PHENYLALANINE, vitamin B complex, multivitamin, Rhodiola, Bacopa, ginko and ginseng. All discussions had with Doctor prior to starting Ritalin since supplements were given before. Taken at different times per day. Ritalin only in the morning METADATE CD 40MG. it's working wonderfully because what many people don't know going in is that stimulants deplete lots of nutrients so you must supplement to be able to stay on the lower mg. side and ensure nutrients aren't depleted.

Does it effect heart, I started it again after 10 years and I am using it from last one week but I feel some sensations in heart ...
Yes its known to effect cardio system... Must do ekg every 6 months
Does it take a while to have a change in appetite because I just started taking Ritalin and have a fine appetite
It's a side effect which might not happen to everyone
You must wait until the acid reflux starts. Than your appetite shall recede.
Dawg I started takin ritalin since august i believe and damn. I skipped two days without taking it before going to school and it felt better without it tbh. Cus when I take this pill, it makes me feel oppressed which I dont appreciate. It feels like its holding me back from acting the way I want. I know this is meant to control impulses but still. It prevents me from talking a lot & having energy. It just makes me calm at the times i dont want to be.
Wow! Thank you for sharing! Can I ask, did it help with your school work though or when you’re taking a test? I’m supposed to start my son on it and I am very hesitant but school is suffering.

@PHARMSTAIN..
I have alcoholism/substance abuse issues. I probably need ADHD medication, but I am terrifed of abusing it.
hahaha! The last thing you need is Ritalin if you can't control your urges.
Don’t listen to these morons in the comments. Methylphenidate significantly helped lower my impulsivity and cravings for alcohol…that combined with a RX for Trazodone to help knock me out at night so I don’t use alcohol to get sleepy….I rarely drink anymore…just don’t have the craving. Ritalin is not an amphetamine it is a Phenethylamine derivative so it has less of a euphoric effect, and thus less abuse potential than Adderall. I’m didn’t start taking Ritalin/Trazodone until I was in my 30’s and it pains me to think how long I needlessly put myself through hell on a daily basis when these meds were readily available. I had to ask for them though. Go to your local behavioral health center, setup an appt. and let them know your situation. The methylphenidate feeds your brain the dopamine it needs so that it quits looking around for the nearest fix. That is how it helps with ADD, as well as impulsive tendencies towards substance abuse.
Less likely to abuse alcohol and street drugs if it's actually treating your symptoms. Will reduce impulsive behaviours if it's actually ADHD you have.

Is it OK to force your self to eat ?
Eating AFTER you took your dose is recommended, just be sure to not limit yourself to one food source, also stay hydrated.
@@johndoe6188hey! A lot of people are saying that you need to take the meds on an empty stomach! But I’d say from own experience, it’s the other way around.
When I take them on empty stomach, side effects appear and my anxiety kicks up.
When I eat a good meal in the morning, I feel nothing and stable for the whole day, it’s amazing and helped me a lot. If you eat good, you might see a reduction in side effects, try it for yourself
First day on Ritalin already seeing improvments. It just wore off tho...

Hi what can I take with Ritalin to make it stronger
Adderall 😬
@@467076 lmao this is so true.
Addy is like Ritalin on steroids. It also gives dopamine to the brain unlike Ritty, which only works with what you got.
zinc
If you’re asking what can I take with Ritalin to make it stronger, you don’t need Ritalin, you need help 😂that’s a question only an addict would ask. “What can I use with cocaine to make it better”. 🥴
Guess I’m in the 4%
It's more like 40% (in my observations)
i’m on adderall , should i switch to ritalin ?
Theyre both great but stay on addwrall it's better
adderall is way more toxic than Ritalin. You should consider Ritalin, Addy is like Ritty on steroids
Adderall is Amphetamine. Ritalin is a phenethylamine derivative. They are both stimulants, but they work differently. Adderall directly causes release of dopamine as well as inhibits its re-uptake. However, Adderall decreases neuronal firing…a very key factor. This essentially means that although Adderall increases your alertness and focus while you’re on it, the decrease in neuronal firing makes the come down much worse and has long term effects on the brain. It has been scientifically proven that Adderall is significantly more neuro-toxic than Ritalin precisely for this reason. Ritalin only inhibits re-uptake, it does not cause release, thus it does not burn out the dopamine receptors, AND it actually INCREASES neuronal firing and neuronal activity. Studies have shown that Ritalin can actually assist in healing or re-developing the parts of brain that are affected by ADD. But…people just wanna get high, and they don’t wanna read the science. They just wanna take speed and get all their studying done in 10 mins so that they can jaxk off, play video games, and message stacy on snapchat.
I just started taking my Ritalin again after I stopped because I just didn't feel like it was important.
But now I'm taking it again and it's working very well. Too well though. I'm also shaking a lot rn and it gave me a bit of a panic feeling. But I know I have to take these to be better at school. It's just scary because I now my anxiety will be horrible again with this but I just have to push through. I can already tell my anxiety is going to go worse but it's alright.
Then you need to switch. That anxiety can be detrimental to your health. Experiment with adhd meds that won’t cause your anxiety. Sounds like Ritalin is doing you more harm than good.
you should lower dosage or change medication, these side effects are too strong.
You need to lower the dosage. You get anxiety if the dosage is to strong.
Oh wow...I didn't realise people saw my comment...I went to my psychologist and etc...anyway my medication changed and split...so I take one in the morning and one at lunch ...I haven't started ...I'll start once I finish my current ritalin....which still gives me fast heart beats....
@@crose4247 fast heart beat is also a negative side effect. You need to tell your Doctor about that.
Sir, I'm sincerely disappointed. Why you haven't mentioned anything positive? Like patients with ADHD using it would drastically improve their life.
