Methylphenidate Forums

I live in southwest Florida and I have not been able to get my Rx in over a month now! I'm frustrated. Is anyone else having this problem? Thanks for your feedback! P.S. I take 20mg x 3 daily IR. ## When this occurs towards the end of a year, and into the beginning of the next, it is usually due to manufacturing production limits of controlled substances. Each manufacturer is allowed a set amount that they can manufacture each year. These amounts are set according to sales, and demand from the previous year. This was done to help keep better track of the supply of these substances, and to try to prevent theft, and diversion. Unfortunately, most years, using figures from the prior year does not always meet the demand for the new year, and shortages occur. A company can request specia...

It is methylphenidate: 10 mg pill is a round, white pill scored twice (in a cross) so the pill can be split into four pieces. the other side is scored with the company logo. the pill is manufactured in mexico by Psicofarma. ## What is difference between Xanax and Ritalin based on pill image? They are identical? ## IMMEDIATE HELP REQUIRED, I have the EXACT same question, meds are from a popular part of Mexico from a drug store, packaging was sealed and in Correctly label boxes for the med desired.

I got my 5 apo-methyphenidate 10 mg light blue. I looked closer and 2 pills are white round with apo on one side and mtp on the other side then a line in the middle and under the line it says 10. Are these white pills the same as the light blue pills and should my pharmacy have told me? ## It sounds like they didn't have quite enough of one tablet to fill your prescription, so they added a couple from a new supply. This happens frequently, and while most pharmacies do tell their customers as a courtesy, they are not required to do so. Yes, it is still the same medication. The FDA warns that Methylphenidate carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, nervousness, insomnia, and anorexia.

Yes, I take Methylphenidate 10mg, but the pharmacy gave me a generic for it and this is the first time I have used this one. The pill is light blue almost white in color, scored and has a "K" on top and a # "101" on the bottom. I can't seem to find any info on this pill. The other problem is it kind of makes me sleepy, so it has a reverse effect? Can you identify this pill for me? Thank you. ## Hi TJ, Sorry to hear about the pill making you sleepy. In many cases, the effects of various medications have been known to backfire. Maybe your body is still acclimating to the different fillers? A round pale green pill imprinted with K over 101 (separated by a scoreline) on one side and blank on the other is reportedly identified as Methylphenidate Hydrochloride 10 mg. NDC: ...

just want to know if its like diazapam or any kind nof the pam type pill ## I'm not 100% certain, but other site users have reported this as containing 10mgs of Methylphenidate, the active ingredient in Ritalin, which is a stimulant used to treat conditions such as ADHD and narcolepsy. Learn more: Can anyone confirm this? ## Yes. I can tell you these are methylphenidate in the 10mg form. They are not produced, sold, or prescribed in the USA, therefore you will not find them on any pill identifier used in the USA. They are distributed by Douglas Pharmaceuticals. To find a picture. you will have to go on a pill identifier used in the country they are produced in. They have a high risk of addiction, and should be used with care

I am losing it trying to find a pharmacy other than CVS that carries the Sandoz brand of 20mg Methylphenidate hcl. I have tried most independent pharmacies and none of the major chains seem to have them. I called Walmart, Walgreens, Costco, Neighborcare, Riteaid, Safeway Pharmacy, SuperFresh Pharmacy, a bunch of small independents as well as a few epic pharmacies. The only reason I dont go to CVS is because They have to order it, I have been out for 3 days now, and there cash price is higher than anyone in town. I take three 20mg hcl tabs a day. Plus, my mother is one of the pharmacy techs at my neighborhood pharmacy and has been in recovery for 12 years and would go crazy if she new I was being prescribed generic ritalin. Although I have never had a substance abuse problem, and she kno...

My 8 year old is on methylphenidate 27 mg (concerta) and doing very well with it, but I have had many problems with his clinic. His next appointment will be in 2 weeks, and his medication won't last! I have vyvanse 10 mg from the last time he was taking those. My question is can he take vyvanse until his appointment date? Is vyvanse similar or not? I don't know about this type of medication much ....but I don't think it's good just to stop it because the "clinic" has failed too many times to do their job! I know we can go to ER, but this medication needs prior authorization and last time I did that, I got a prescription but the doctors at ER were too busy to do the prior authorization so in the end I couldn't get any... ## They are similar medications that ar...

I found a small round pill that says "gg" on one side and the other side is scored with "790" on it. Any help identifying it would be greatly appreciated - concerned mother ## I found a round yellow tablet line on one side to cut tablet in half and A79 enbossed on the other side.The A is rounded on the apex.. ## I noticed this site had great ?'s but few answers, so being bored as I am, I will ans the ? about expiration date and Medicine. Anytime there is a ex date, it should be aknowledged as the date you want to refer to in taking meds. Now, if it has never had a seal broken, this may give you some extra time in regards to freshness. It would probably serve as 6mo date. Take meds only through the severity of the condition you are taking it for and then discard the r...

The 3 Manufacturers are Mallinkrodt/Methylin, Sandoz and Watson Pharmaceuticals. On this day, December 3,2011 I learned that if a generic drug is back ordered in lots of different Pharmacies our HMO's will pay for the drug that is prescribed. All who are prescribed Methylphenidate 20 mg. are being turned away by CVS, RiteAid, including the pharmacies in some Giant food stores . If you are prescribed both forms of this drug do not let the Pharmacist fill one part of your prescriptions and if both are on 1 prescription sheet never trust anyone to complete the refill. They'll fill the one they have and as far as the other part, you lose! ## Finally my pharmacy failure has been explained. I went to my CVS Pharmacy and Talked with the manager about the crisis of this back order defen...
