790 Sz
UpdatedI was taking Methylin 20MG twice daily. My new script was filled at CVS, and it is Methylphenidate SZ 790, BUT it says TAKE 6 TABLETS BY MOUTH EVERY DAY. This has to be a mistake???

Have you contacted your doctor or pharmacy?
I am thinking someone might have misread the prescription or made a typo.
The pills marked SZ 790 are 20mg Methylphenidate time released tablets and that would be a major and dangerous dosage jump.
In addition, the maximum daily dose should only be 60mgs and taking 6 in day would be doubling that.

I can't see any doctor prescribing that amount.
Verwon, thank you for your reply. Your link was very comprehensive and enlightening. I found the 20MG dose intolerable, so I cut the tabs in half and took 10MG's twice a day. I did take the prescription back to CVS and looked at the doctor's handwritten script. It was correct. It was the pharmacy's error.
