Orangey brown with ru 20 on one side and a pac man looking symbol on the other side ## Based on the description provided, the closest match I could find is a round white pill that has "RU" with a slash (score line) through it on one side, and a "20" underneath. This particular pill is believed to be Rubifen, another brand name for Methylphenidate or Ritalin. Methylphenidate is a psychostimulant drug approved for treatment of ADHD or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and narcolepsy. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Methylphenidate Details I haven't come across any other specific details on dosage information or recognition of the pacman-like symbol you described, but I hope this info can at least help...

My 7 year old son is taking Methylphenid 20mgs ER TAB MAL and he has lost considerable weight and isnt hungry anymore. I am very concerned about his weight and I do not like him taken this medication. He doesnt seem like the same when hes on it. ## Loss of appetite, is listed as a common side effect of Methylphenidate. Have you tried any other treatment options outside of Methylphenidate for ADHD? If anything, I would really watch his diet, since a lot of these processed foods seem to have an unbalancing effect on energy levels and mental acuity throughout the day. Answering questions like this can be difficult because I am not insinuating on how to raise your child properly, but I would recommend a diet high in fresh raw fruits and vegetables along with some lean protein sources in rep...

a small light blue pill marked 789 SZ ## Hi pickpack01, Is there any chance that the pill you're describing is white as opposed to "light blue"? Only asking because I did find a match to your imprint; however these markings sit on a round white pill, with a partial score line on each side of the number "8". It's identified as Methylphenidate hydrochloride 10 mg; which is a psycho-stimulant indicated in the treatment of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome and narcolepsy. Let me know if this sounds like a possible match!

I GOT MEDADATE 60MG CAPSULES WITH LITTLE GREEN WHITE AND YELLOW BEADS INSIDE. I THOUGHT THEY WERE ALL WHITE IS THIS NORMAL? ## YES, JUST GOT THEM FILLED YESTERDAY... THE PHARMACIST SAID THEY ARE CHANGEING ALL THE ADD MEDS IT IS LIGIT FOR SURE ## I can't double check for you without knowing the markings on them, since that's what enables them to be positively identified.

Alternatively, feel free to post here and there are many great people that will be happy to help here, as well. Learn more Methylphenidate details here. Can you post back with the markings on them?

Medicare wants to switch me from provigil 200 mg once/day, which I have been taking to establish a sleep pattern successfully for 4 years, and replace it with methylphenidate. WIll it perform the same? ## Provigil contains the active ingredient Modafinil and Methylphenidate is a stimulant, but they are used to treat the same conditions. The only way, however, to tell if it will work for you is to actually try it. You may experience side effects, such as: nausea, headache, irritability and insomnia. Read more: Are there any comments or questions? ## Thank you for the info. It appears that Methylidate is basically, Ritalin.

Methylphenidate20mg has become impossible for CVS, plus Rite Aid and all other pharmacies in my area to get their orders filled. One pharmacist said this back-order is going to be a long one. What is going on with the Manufactors of the plain 20mg. tablet? ## The three companies who manufacture the generic drugs for Ritalin have been caught up in a number of lawsuits when people and doctors learned that they were being scammed by these companies. As I posted earlier, the physicians who prescribe these drugs for ADD in adults are finding their patients being turned away due to large back orders everywhere in my state. This process of non-production is being used as a tool to regain some of the money from the lawsuits. In return the patients are suffering from the inability to get their p...

i am on just plain methylphenidate 20 mg tabs. they don't seem to be as effective as they used to be. i was talking to my psychiatrist about switching to something else but he wasn't very agreeable about it. he said these types of drugs are getting more difficult to get. is this true? what is the difference between methylphenidate reg, sa & sr? could this all possibly have something to do with which pharmaseutical companies my doc deals with? ## The SR stands for sustained release, so the ones with that designation are a time release formulation, rather than a regular release, like what you are currently taking. And no, it has nothing to do with any dealings he has with the pharmaceutical companies. If you search our site you will see that many people are having problems get...

My doctor recently prescribed methylphenidate hcl, 10 mg, in capsule form. I had never heard of it coming in a capsule before, and I am not able to find it on the internet. Could you please let me know if it does come in capsule form, and could you please provide me with a picture of it, as well? Thank you very much for your time and energies! ## yes they can come in capsules with small bead like balls in the capsule, usually some form of extended or control release .etc. etc . ## I can't find an image or the markings, but our drug listing page does list a 10mg time released Methylphenidate capsule as being available on the U.S. market. Are there any markings on the capsule in question? If so, please post back with them and I will gladly check for you, to confirm what it contains. #...
