But, everyone is different and with that, everyone's reactions to a medication will differ ...

Wishing you well!

Today I took my first Ritalin pill, so how about we let each other know how it's working. My fatigue is really taking over my life and my body has turned to jelly because I am on the bed all day. Modifinal is the stimulant I have been using for abbey 7 years and I guess it doesn't much wok any more. My neuro tried me on 4 AP, potassium channel blocker, but one pill was enough as I was very vert dizzy on it.

Fatigue and weakness is debilitating, if we can combat those it is much easier to fight the other symptoms - except pain of course.

Keep in touch. If there are any longer Time ritulin users out there who can shed some light on experiential side effects, efficacy, and best dosage, sustained realease etc. Would be grateful.
