I am thinking that I am not taking enough of the methyphenidate. I am only prescribed 10 mg, but if I take more, then I will run out before my next appt. I haven’t been taking it because I’ve been sick and didn’t think it would do me any good anyway, but today, since I’m feeling about 50% well, I decided to take some, but now I’m noticing the headache that I think had subsided as I got used to the meds. Boy, seeing a dr only once a month is hard. Wish we could email them when we’re wondering what to do!! It would make life so much simpler. She started me on only 10mg because she was worried about blood pressure rising, since I’m 68, even though I don’t have high blood pressure. Would this, my age, make it a bad idea to experiment by taking more (20 mg)?
