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.
What else can I help you with?

Can you take Ritalin with methadone?
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.
