What schedule is Ritalin in?

Adderall, Adderall XR, it's generic equivalent D-Amphetamine salt combo or "mixed amphetamine salts", and the rest of the ADHD stimulant type medications all fall into the DEA Schedule 2, or CII. They are heavily regulated, not able to be refilled without a new RX and must be stored separately from other medications and other controlled substances. Hope that helps you out.

Is it illegal to snort your Ritalin?

How long does a 30mg pill of Ritalin stay in your system?

Anywhere from 3-5 days for an Amphetamine it also depends on the you body type..and fluid consumption Drink cranberry juice water to flush your system (do not drink your pee)

Does Ritalin cause swelling?

I was given Ritalin from age 5 to 15... and nearly every single evening after my last afternoon dose was wearing off, namely between 5pm and 7pm, my ears would swell up and become beet red... sometimes even annoying and clearly visible. The pediatrician never was able to explain it, but i feel it is CLEAR this was caused by the Ritalin. Ritalin also probably caused social misdevelopment because I feel it was given to me WAY too early in life. In spite of the localized hype with dozens of people who have died from this drug (out of MILLIONS taking it)... I still think its relatively safe as long as some basic heart and family history is done before hand. I however might be on the bottom of the luck here because I am 25 now and am starting to develop signs of mild heart disease probably related to long term Ritalin exposure.

Is a 5 year old boy on 250mg of Seroquel 2mg of Clonidine and 60mg of Metadate per day for ADHD safe?

no.

That is ridiculous. Your child is on a crazy amount of medication, the doctor obvoisly does not know what he/she is doing. Sedation is ruining this kid's childhood.

Try just the Metadate for a week. ADHD is not treated with Seroquel. Seroquel is an anti-psychotic with strong sedative properties that makes the child appear to be calm. Seroquel is also only FDA approved for patients over the age of 18 for Bipolar mania and Schizophrenia.

In other words, your doctor is a quack, and that is not safe.

This is malpractice.

------------------------------------------------

As an amendment to this answer I'll usually be quick to defend the recommendations of a doctor but I've only seen 200-300mg of seroquel given to patients who are in need of a strong antipsychotic. In fact in the normal treatment of bipolar mania I believe it's usually given out in doses of 25-100mg for adult males...so for a 5 year old child I would certainly say you're within rights to want a second opinion.

Can you take Ritalin and vicodin together?

I have been taking Ritalin (60mg) a day and Vicodin (hydrocodone 7.5mg) for appr. 1 year (due to cancer issues). All Dr.s and my pharmacist are not concerned with the combo. I have had no problems at all taking the two together. You can also check with any pharmacist if not comfortable asking your own. there are sites that have info if drugs are not to be taken together. Good Luck! Val

Can you take 40mg of Ritalin and 40 mg of norco daily?

You can, but taking 40mg of norco and by norco I think you mean hydrocodone but norcos have acetaminophen in them, roughly 325mg per 10mg of hydrocodone.

So while you can do that, you shouldn't acetaminophen is very harmful towards your kidneys.

But just hydrocodone. and ritalin would be a fine combination, you should be able to treat your ADD/ADHD, with no problem.

And the Norcos won't make you sleepy.

But be safe acetaminophen is evil.

Does Ritalin make you psychic?

Does Ritalin make you psychic?

Nothing can make you psychic. If you believe in such things, you are either born with such powers or not, but Ritalin is used to calm hyperactive children, and is also used as a stimulant for adults. Neither of these functions have been known to make people psychic.
