I wanted to ask because this is really bothering me,
I used to take Ritalin on and off from the time I was 12-19
A couple of those years I was totally off of it. Back on again at 21-24
took it here and there from ages 24-27 but not everyday. There was a time
in 2007 I was up to 40mg four times a day..I was totally off it once I became
pregnant in 2008.. I only took it a few times in 2009, and a couple of times this
year . the problem is when I take it now I feel really weird on it, sometimes my chest
hurts, (hurts as well after having two or three sodas with caffeine)
I am only on 5mg twice a day, and I usually break those in half.
At times I feel like I can get tons of things done, and my ADD seems really under control, but other times I feel so weird on Ritalin, which never happened before.
Since starting at the 5mg twice a day, I probably only took it a total of 4 times,
and only a few times a week, because I'm scared that its going to have some kind
of bad effect on me...
If I start taking it everyday, or every other day will my system get used to it again, or is this some kind of warning sign that I shouldn't be taking ritalin anymore?
The only difference between now and when I used to take it is I was always on
Zoloft or some kind of ssri with it
