Title: Ritalin?
Post by chrisconey69 on Jan 1^st, 2004, 4:26pm

Hey guy's,
Was just wondering if anyone else has had any success with this drug? I started using it about 2 years ago when it was presribed by my neurologist.I take 2 doses per day of the 20mg Sr's.It has helped tremendously during the day,but my night's are a different story.For those I use the ever faithful Imitrex 50's, which thanks to medicaid in my state I get 150 of them a month.Is it the drug"ritalin"that is helping, or is it just that it is a stimulant?
Chris

My experience with Ritalin was not a good one, made things much worse and took weeks to get back normal after stopping it. I would suggest all clusterheads avoid it.

YMMV
