Ritalin

Yes and No. There are two things to consider. The first is TIME and the second is CHEMICAL COMPOSITION.

Chemically, I think it does. First, according to this advertisement

http://www.meditests.com/mulurtesopco.HTML

THC (marijuana), Cocaine (Crack), Methamphetamine (Ecstasy), Amphetamine, and Opiates (Morphine/vicodin/percocet/heroin/prescription pain killers/etc.) all show up on the five panel drug test.

While Ritalin is not actually methamphetamine or amphetamine, it IS methylphenidate. Methylphenidate "looks" a lot like amphetamine AND cocaine (benzoylmethylecogine) The test probably tests for the metabolites of aromatic compounds, rather than the actual presence of these drugs in your system (unless you get a blood test). My guess is that if the substances are similar in nature to begin with, then they probably get degraded to common compounds. Which means, it probably would show up if you took enough of the drug. Just what is "enough" depends upon how much you weight, where that weight comes from (sorry fatties, but drugs like living in the extra non-polar lipid bundles around your waist), how active you are, and MOST IMPORTANTLY,

TIME!

Ritalin gets metabolized beyond therapeutic efficacy within 24 hours. It's virtually all out of your system after 48 hours, and if you go the distance...say 96 hours, it's fully out of your system. No doubt.

There is no actual way to "fail" or "pass" a drug test. It all depends upon what your employer/drug officer/wife..don't ask is concerned about. If you say you take Ritalin to help with school, chances are they won't get too concerned with a positive test for amphetamines. That said, don't be stupid and smoke weed and think you can get away with it just because you take Ritalin. That's completely different.

Lastly, if you're still concerned, call the drug testing company up, pretend to be an employer who wants to drug test an employee who you think is abusing Ritalin, and ask if they are able to detect it, and if so, say "the employee doesn't work Friday-Sunday, but they're "over the top" on Monday" and that you've heard them discuss abusing drugs with other employees, etc. fill in the blanks. hope this helps.

I have been taking 15mg of Methylphenidate twice each day for the past 18 months. It is for Adult ADHD. I am 59 years old. I have no general history of drug abuse other than having smoke pot and heavy drinking when I was a kid.

From time to time I have taken more Methylphenidate (up to 30mg) per dose and/or taken a third dose during the day. To me it seems 15mg does the job and when I take 20 or 25mg per dose it just gets me a bit reved up. The regular dose of 15mgX2 gives me the "enthusiasm" I need to get through the day.

Just now I started taking Nortriptyline 25mg twice a day for a pinched nerve in my neck. It is supposed to help with nerve pain. I can't say it relieves the pain but it somehow makes it feel different... less intense.

Overall, I am concerned with the combination of the two drugs. One is actually a stimulant, the other an anti-depressant. You'd think they'd work against each other.

I find... after two weeks... that the combination makes me feel quite well as it pertains to ADHD... plenty of focus, no anxiety. Nothing noticed as to adverse side effects.... BP low/normal. Appetite normal.

I just tried it for the for the time and I feel pretty good however I did about 90mg. Ill tell you more later once I expierment more. Pretty much all ADD and ADHD meds can get you high excpt for Vyvanse which could, but is VERY dangerous because you have to take a f*** ton by mouth, snorting it wont work. Anti-anxcity meds aalso have high potential for abuse, the high is pretty kick a**. Just look up symptoms of what these meds treat and tell your doctor you've been haveing them.

Take your methylphenidate (ritalin) and crush it up into a very fine powder. 20 mg is suggested, though 10 works too.

Put this onto a 5'' by 5'' sheet of foil in a line.

Put an equal line of baking soda onto the foil.

Put just a FEW drops of water onto this powder mixture, just enough for it to be damp.

Swirl mixture in a circle over foil.

Let it dry for a few minutes. If you put too much water, it will take longer to dry.

Put a lighter underneath, get a tube to inhale the smoke coming from the dry powedered circle, and inhale slowly, as the smoke is harsh.

Work your way around the circle, and enjoy!

It produces a high similar to crack, but with less euphoria. It makes 10 mg feel like snorting 30 mg.

That's why they call it "kiddy crack"!

PROFIDERALL is what's called a Cognitive Energy Enhancer. It is a new category of supplements that are designed to increase focus, concentration, and energy like Adderall... but without a prescription. It is great as a smart drung, but isn't designed to be an alternative to ADD/ADHD treatment.

Ritalin can help increase concentration and attention control in someone who has problems with those things. Some autistic people have problems with attention control; some do not. Ritalin may or may not help those who have problems with attention. Ritalin will not directly affect the symptoms of autism.

Yes Ritalin and Prozac (fluoxetine) work in very different ways and are able to be taken together, I take both of them to help with both ADHD and depression and there are no side effects from taking them both simultaniously.

Ritalin is the most widely known brand-name for methylphenidate. Methylphenidate is a central nervous system stimulant used to treat ADHD and narcolepsy.

A brand of methylphenidate in its hydrochloride form.

proprietary name (Ciba Ltd., originally in Switzerland) for drug methylphenidate hydrochloride, copyrighted 1948, years before the drug itself was marketed.

When Ritalin is sniffed it is similar to taking it orally except it is stronger and lasts for a shorter amount of time, it creates more of a high than taking more than you need orally but does not last as long.

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.

Only if the drug itself is illegal. If the drug is legal, a prescription for that specific must be in hand There are only recomendations on how to take them and they are intened as such

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.

it hurts... alot

Germs thrive in the heat.It doesn't matter the temperature or the dryness of the air there will always be germs

Ritalin does expire after a while. However, It may still work or it may not. You can give it a try though. The strength may have gone down if not all the way. Stay safe and take care.

Yes

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.

Heart and developmental problems. Google meth-amphetamines on pregnancy should be similar effects. as they are both amphetamines only one is designer and the other can be dirty

I would imagine Adderall is. I never took Ritalin, but I believe that's the generic form of Addy's.

Yes

First of all, you shouldn't smoke weed while you are taking Ritalin. And second, no it won't help you pass. Sorry.
