Ritalin Forums (Page 4)

I was on yellow 20mg, but I changed myself to blue (with my doc approval). I was DOING WELL BUT NOW the pharmacist gave me a white tab with "CG" on one side and " > | 00" on the other sie. Don't seem as strong at all, I can't focus, and am losing time :'( ARE THEY THE SAME OR IS IT IN MY MIND? ## Oopsy was looking at tab sideways. It's A|B not an > over __ and 00. SO CAN ANYONE ANSWER as to why I'm finding them much less effective than the blue 10mg Ritalin in aiding my symptoms?

Can ritalin and concerta stimulants show up in a urine drug screen? I take those medications, and twice now I've tested positive for cocaine. I haven't did any coke, since back in the 1990's. If anyone can help answer my questions, and give me some documentation, that I can show my probation officer. I'd be very thankful! ## Both Ritalin and Concerta contain Methylphenidate and no, neither has been known to cause false positives for Cocaine. Learn more drug test details here. Had you taken anything else, even over the counter products? ## not likely at all, ritalin/concerta would not show up as cocaine in a urine screen. in fact the 5 panel or even the ten panel test do not test for ritalin. ritalin is a methlphenidate not an amphetamine. highly unlikely for the test to ...

Found these pills and package says they are from the phillipines. ## Hi Robyn, Based on the description provided, the closest match I'm seeing online is a white round pill imprinted with "A|B" on one side and "CG" on the other. I don't know if this is what yours may be like as well, but this particular tablet is identified as 10mgs of Ritalin (Methylphenidate), for treating ADHD & narcolepsy. The manufacturer is reported to be Novartis (which doesn't appear to be a US-based company). Are the letters on your tablet also split between a score line?

Someone please help me! I screwed up and admit I abused ritalin the night before my pain clinic doctor gave me a urine test, so my question is since I took about fifty 20mg ritalin pills the night before and the doctor sends my urine out to a lab will it show up that I was abusing methylphenidate and thus leading to my discharge from pain management? Please respond if you know what you're talking about I'd really appreciate it

Need a Dr who prescribes Ritilan in Tulsa OK.. ## Due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, if you require such a medication on a long-term ongoing basis, you'll need to see a specialist. Do you currently have a PCP that could refer you to someone? If so, that would most likely be the fastest way to find the help you need. Ritalin carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, anorexia and insomnia. Can anyone recommend a good doctor in that area? ## I do not know where the idea is coming from that you have to see a specialist to be treated for ADHD or chronic pain, but it is not true. There may not be a lot of PCP's who will do it, but there are some out there. If there is a ADHD group ...

im on ritalin ive had a urine test it came back postive for cocain i've also had police test ritalin dust and that came back postive for cocain is this posable ## i just received the same notice today for a police drug test. i popped for cocaine but seriously have never once in my life done it. i am prescribed ritalin so there HAS to be something going on with that. sad thing is that they look at the drug test as the end all, never admitting there could possibly be a mistake. so i'm stuck writing a letter for appeal....which will probably wind up in the garbage. i am so pissed right now, i dont have a clue of what to do about it. what makes it worse is that everyone assumes i'm lying. if you had any resolution i'd love to hear about it. {edited for privacy}

I am wondering if the new pain management patch Fentanyl 100 mc I've started would interact with Ritalin 40 mg day I'm given for severe weakness due to my old and misdiagnosed CIDP - I was looking for a better pain relief option, (OxyContin 80OP 3 day would "poop out" after 3 years), so this patch appears to be working (fingers crossed), but after reading many horrid stories of OD upon misusing, I was afraid now of my Ritalin intake along with the patch - I couldn't find any warning posted against it. Anyone knows anything? Please? Thank you, friends! ## Hello, kSasha, how are you? The issue here is that the Fentanyl causes sedation, since it's a narcotic and the Ritalin increases alertness. It's not that they can't be taken together, but there may some o...

I take methadone 20.mg 3 Xaday oxycodone 10mg 4 Xaday. I take vistiril and flexiril 20 mg 1 Xaday. I take 1000 mg metformin 2 Xaday I take 50 mg of benadryl 3-4 time a week. I take naproxin sodium 220mg 2Xaday. I take many herbal supplements also. 6 months ago I test positive for cocaine. I don't use and now they say I test positive for ritalin. What could cause this. I am worried about being cut off my medicine I've been on 10 plus years. ## A good person to ask is your pharmacist. They know more about medication interactions, etc. than doctors do a lot of the time, and know how they are absorbed. He can probably help you considerably. Good Luck
