does anybody know if ...

Posted by Francesco on October 21, 2003, at 10:35:48

sorry for all these posts but it seems I have better nothing better to do this afternoon : )

I started Ritalin some days ago on a very low dose (5mg) and I was supposed to upper the dose to 30mg per day.

I didn't do it because I found that when I'm under the influence of the med (3 hours and an half today) I have the following problems:

1. diffulty from switching from task to task (getting locked)
2. sensation of dumbness
3. overfocusing
4. perfectionism

All of these end to deteriorate my cognitive performances.

Does anybody experienced similar problems on Ritalin at first and find them improving uppering the dose ?

I'm wondering if, given these results, uppering the dose would be a complete non-sense or could be justified. My actual diagnosis is ADHD inhattentive type, and I had OCD problem when I was a child.

Thanks
