For adults w/ ADD, does anyone know what the usual dose of Ritalin would be given per day
My doc started me on Methylphenidate (Ritalin) and I am supposed to take 1/2 of a 10MG tablet every morning for 3 days and then move up to a whole one in the morning. It has only been 2 days but the 1/2 pill doesnt seem to be doing anything.
Tablets: Administer in divided doses 2 or 3 times daily, preferably 30 to 45 minutes before meals. Average dosage is 20 to 30 mg daily. Some patients may require 40 to 60 mg daily. In others, 10 to 15 mg daily will be adequate. Patients who are unable to sleep if medication is taken late in the day should take the last dose before 6 p.m.
