In reply to Generic Ritalin (methylphenid) Iodine?, posted by SharonBerg on June 5, 2000, at 9:25:57
Sharon:
I don't have any experience with generic methylphenidate and iodine consumption.
However, about five years ago when I started on methylphenidate, I initially
chose the generic brand. It didn't work for me. I only experienced the medications
intended effects (which were immediate for me) when I switched to the BRAND Ritalin
by Novaritis (formeraly Ciba). My PDoc stipulates on my scripts "No Substitutions Allowed."
You might want to try the Ritalin Brand rather than the generic. Couldn't discern from your
posting your daily dose of Ritalin. It appears that you took at least 40mg on one occasion.
I take 60mg a day - I believe that is the "suggested maximum daily dosage." But hey,
whatever works - damn the FDA and the pharmaceutical companies!Best,
