I have been taking Ritalin for years and I just recently started taking mathadone along with it. I'm not sure if it is medically okay to take the two together but I researched it before I took them and didn't see anything that said it would kill me so I went for it. It seems to be working pretty great! i take the Ritalin in the morning to get up and get going, then in the afternoon I take the methadones to calm down. For me, the mix is working wonders. Good luck!

I have found in my own personal use of 80 mg Methadone/day (Entire right side Back pain) and 10mgx3/day of Ritalin, the use of Ritalin has significantly decreased the duration and total effectiveness of the Methadone - causing me to experience more peaks/valleys, minor withdrawl simptoms and has ultimately led to me making the choice between the Ritalin or an increase of my Methadone, which I am not willing to do. I suggest a trial basis (2 week) to see 1) what dose of Ritalin needed and 2) If another, perhaps non-stimulant, ADHD medication might be a better fit. Hope this helps.

∙ 11y agoThere are no known interactions between methadone and ritalin and doctors do prescribe them together however that does not mean you won't have a bad interaction. I would recommend consulting a doctor but if your anything like most people these days you won't so I wouldn't suggest mixing the two without knowing how you react to both and even then be careful and smart about it and start slow.

Does methadone and Ritalin come up as the same thing on a UA and can methadone be detected on a dipstick UA?
No, Ritalin will show up on a standard UA as an amphetamine but they have to do a separate, specific test to test for methadone.
Does Ritalin decrease the potency of methadone?
no - methadone does not affect the same neuro transmitters as ritalin. However, I have found in my own personal use of 80 mg Methadone/day (Entire right side back pain) and 10mgx3/day of Ritalin, the use of Ritalin has significantly decreased the duration and total effectiveness of the Methadone - causing me to experience more peaks/valleys, minor withdrawl simptoms and has ultimately led to me making the choice between the Ritalin or an increase of my Methadone, which I am not willing to do. I suggest a trial basis (2 week) to see 1) what dose of Ritalin needed and 2) If another, perhaps non-stimulant, ADHD medication might be a better fit. Hope this helps.
