hi all!
i’m newly diagnosed, and have been taking 5mg x 3 of methylphenidate daily.
occasionally only 2 x day (dependng on the timing)
first 2 weeks i was on par with normal – completing tasks, focused, organized, motivated etc.
this week, after i take my 5mg in the morning i have a really hard time staying awake. really hard.
i’m not working so i can go sleep it off but that just doesn’t seem right.
today after an hour of complete sleepy-headitus i took another 2.5mg. no improvement.
tomorrow i may take 10mg in the morning…but that makes me nervous.
going back to the doctor in 3 weeks. in the meantime i’d like to find a way to make this med work for me.
should i try the 10 mg or just stop completely? what to do?
….i have read all the posts in this forum as well as the concerta (which may be my next step)
