So far Ritalin has no effect. Hoping a higher dose works.
Wasted 5 months trying Strattera. Nice side effects and no effect either..
Pretty much. It's half life is 3.5 hours, it's duration of action is 3-5 hours. Your 130 dose is pretty much done by 6 or so. Some people have to take Ritalin three times a day.
