Hi all. well i have been prescribed ritalin 5mg today but have found out from my pharmacist that they dont do it. i phoned up the guy i saw today and i missed his call grrr dam. the voicemail was some what hazzy,but from what i got was not got time, speak monday. my wife was amazed how it was left. i always see the specialist on a friday as it leaves me the weekend to let them bed in. from what i can see ppl are saying they are similar to equsim which is not helping at all. i was on concerta but they kinda dropped of after 3 weeks and being on hols for one of those weeks. what i dont under stand is that what i have read is that if u suffer from depression and u take adhd medication it can clear your mind up so that you can suddenly feel even more depressed ! i wish i had not read half the stuff i have read as this just gets my mind of on finding the perfect pill which as we know we all strive for . hey ho tigger

IIRC Ritalin doesn't come in 5mg but Equasym does - is it Ritalin on the prescription or methylphenidate?
5mg of methylphenidate should be the same whatever the brand name (even though I make sure I get Ritalin) but if you've taken stimulants before then 5mg is pretty toytown.

Lol 37 is a mg short of a gram ;D there will be other chemicals as well as stimulant in the pills! But saying most street drugs have been bashed with glucose! I fi nd billy helps a great deal with concentration but banging too much in an uncontrolled way can cause problems with urinating the thing is with stimulants is the chasing the dragon factor ;D

Well 5gm ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) Is working just nicely. Head aches first few days but have now gone. I feel a bit on one about an hour after I have taken it. Head feels clear and feel chilled One problem is that now I am waking up twice in a night Which is what I used to do before any of the tablets but I'm sure it will settle down TIgger

i'm no expert in pharmacology but 5mg does seem an awful small amount are these pills XL or IR? oic just clicked lol so you are on 5000mg of ritalin lol ;D 1gram = 1000mg, and i was gonna suggest the placebo effect lol ;D
