Hi Martha - I have not had a problem with constipation from ritalin.

However you really cant take ritalin much after 4 oclock depending on your

sensitivity if you want to avoid energizing your evening. It is not a blood

level type drug - wears off after 4 hrs, so you can tailor it to your

schedule. See el's post on sustained release ritalin and her

evening period. I think I will try the sustained release, now that I know

ritalin works for me.

I am very interested in piracetam since several people mentioned it on line.

What can you tell me about your experience/knowledge?

Re dosage - I take 10 mgs in morn and 10 in early aft. If I have to be

aware of anything or drive or read music, etc, I also take one in early eve

which means I go to bed later (which I would do anyway if I am going out).

In my experience there's no problem with taking ginko and/or PS with

ritalin. They're not related chemically. Try each independently and see

what works - no prescription nec. It is tricky to get a ritalin

prescription unless you've got a pcp who'll read the various posts you bring

in and be willing to try it. Reason is, it's an amphetamine, as is adderal.

It does not have amphetamine type effects on me or anyone else I know who

uses it for the purposes of clearing up brain fog - just kicks you into

normal.

Phosphytidyl serine is a " phosphalipid compound derived from soy lecithin

and also a normnal component of the brain. Research has demonstrated that

PS may aid brain and nerve cell functions " .

My doc recommended it and my naturapathic doc endorsed it.
