Default Ritalin/methylphenidate
My psychiatrist has prescribed the above drug for me - he thinks it might help with my tiredness - about an hour after taking it I am getting horrible headaches. I am taking 20mg slow release tablets. My GP has said that I should just persevere and my body will get used to it.

When I had my QEEG in Australia the psychologist that I saw there who also specialised in ADHD told me that this drug does not work for head injuries.

Has anybody else tried this or does anybody know anything about it?

Thanks, Lynlee
