20mg is the highest dosage of Ritain (methylphenidate).
This is a question for your psychiatrist but when I take the recommended dosage of dayquil with my prescribed Ritalin, it's not a problem.
Who knows? Why would she tell what her dosage is...
It is not safe or recommended to try to equate the dosage of prescription medication (Ritalin) to an illegal drug (cocaine). These substances have different mechanisms of action, potency levels, and potential risks associated with their use. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage for Ritalin and avoid using illicit drugs altogether.
The recommanded dosage is always the lowest working dose. If 18mg allows good results, then it is the correct dosage. We start at a low dose, and we increased if we don't get any result after a week trial. Blood volume, brain chemistry and metabolism are the basic determining factors for what dose is ineffective, effective or "high". Concerta is available in 18mg, 27mg, 36mg, 54mg and 72mg extended release capsules. 18mg is the common starting dose for children and 18mg to 36mg for adults depending on discretion of the doctor. The maximum dosage of Concerta should not be greater than 0.9 mg per pound of body weight. For people switching to Concerta from Ritalin, the dosage requires careful consideration because 18mg of Concerta is much different then 18mg of Ritalin due to Concerta's precision time release mechanism. The following chart outlines the dosage equivalents. 18 mg Concerta = 4 mg Ritalin 3 times per day 27 mg Concerta = 6 mg Ritalin 3 times per day 36 mg Concerta = 8 mg Ritalin 3 times per day 54 mg Concerta = 12 mg Ritalin 3 times per day
Taking Ritalin later in the day may cause insomnia. You should report this to your doctor so you can get a dosage change or be instructed to take it in the morning.
This really depends on the person since 180 pounds is averagish weight for most people. Depending on what condition Ritalin is taken for and how severe the symptoms are you could be prescribed anything from 10mg instant release to 54mg concerta (both of which are the same chemical methylphenidate). Weight plays a small part in deciding the dosage of Ritalin.
You need to take enough to get results. One can't take too much. Just start increasing the dosage one teaspoon each day until you get results. When you have regular, daily bowel movements, you are at the right dosage.
If a child, teen, or an adult has been thoroughly evaluated for ADHD (an attention deficit, hyperactivity disorder), Ritalin may be one of several medications that will lessen the 3 most common characteristics of ADHD: impulsivity, inattention, and excessive fidgetiness. The dose will depend on the age, weight, and clinical response of the patient.
Yes, but with not perfect results.
Can you take cipralex with ritalin?
Snorting Ritalin is not much different to orally taking it in terms of how it will show up if you partake in a drug test testing for it (usually it is not tested for), it would depend on the quantity consumed to what the results of the drug test would be not the way in which is was consumed.
