Dweii Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Since Concerta isn't really working anymore but Ritalin does, for some weird reason, my pdoc prescribed me both. 54 mg of Concerta when I wake up. 30 mg of Ritalin at 2 pm. 30 mg of Ritalin at 7 pm. Which makes a total of 114 mg of methylphenidate. I used to take 90, so I guess it isn't absurdly high for me, I tend to need high doses of everything. I want to try dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine in US, right?) but my pdoc has no experience with it so she wants a second opinion first. And it's hard to get a licence to prescribe it, you have to send in the evaluation of the neuropsychiatric examination and so on... So I guess this is only temporary if she can precribe me Dexedrine later. Anyone heard of combining Concerta and Ritalin? This is my first day and I must say it's working.

Velvet Elvis Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Yeah, I used to combine the two when I was on it. It takes concerta long enough to reach its full effect that I'd take 54mg Concerta and 20mgs rit at the same time so as to get more of an effect early on.

hotschizodiscocop Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Yeah I've combined extended and short release Ritalin. It's great coz you can supplement the xtended release already in your system with small dose immediate ritalin especially in the evening that's pretty helpful.
