Old new guy
So I've been on Ritalin for about 20 years for Narcolepsy.
I was doing 20 mg and 20 mg ER twice a day= 80 mg pd. My heart doctor freaked out after I fainted from an arythmia episode. He cut my use to 20mg 1 pd and I felt like crap, no energy, not motivation, Narcolepsy symptoms of course as well. So regular Dr. has offered Welbutrin 150mg 1 pd. with the 20 mg Ritalin ER. I have been on it for 3 days. The first day was very nice -very involved with life again. Second day, I felt jumpy, restless almost paranoid, etc., I never had that with just Ritalin. This is he 3rd day and I feel really speedy and a bit dizzy and kinda sick at times. Is this normal? Should I ditch the Ritalin or the Welbutrin or just hope that things will smooth out -? ![]() |

Re: Old new guy
Hi! I'm a newbie here as well.
![]() I was only recently diagnosed, and just started taking meds for my ADHD yesterday. I have never taken Ritalin. What I am taking now is supposedly pretty new - Vyvanse. However, back in my 20s I was taking Wellbutrin for depression and anxiety. And although that was a good while ago, I do distinctly remember my anxiety spiking to a whole new level with strong feelings of paranoia. I opted not to stay on it for very long. I am in NO way telling you what to do, just letting you know I had a similar experience while on it. You should really talk to your doctor about what you are experiencing and your concerns. I hope you are able to get the help you need. Take care. ![]() |

Re: Old new guy
Totally agree that provigil or nuvigil can work wonders for narcolepsy.
I tried it for ADHD, and I felt like I was taking the "Limitless pill". But I absolutely could NOT sleep. It was pretty bad for me. But for narcolepsy, I assume this would be a wonderful thing (possibly even life-changing). |
