Re: New Guy vs Ritalin

[Anonymous]

Ok…..so you guys seem like you have quite a bit of experience with medications. I am 40 years old and have just been diagnosed and have started taking Ritalin (10mg x 3). The doc told me to come back in a month and let him know how it is going. I am considering going back early because of the anxious, weird person I have become. I guess that I have been more productive, less forgetful, slightly less impulsive…….good things……….but am worried about the thump thump in my chest………and honestly, I was expecting a bit more of an improvement………What should I do? Give it a couple more weeks? Go see the doc and change meds? Start a journal to try and more accurately capture reactions………advice anyone?
