That was about 1967 or so, then Ritalin was kind of new. I was given it 2X a day to help with fatigue, which it did, and allowed me to go to school, work, date, dance, etc. About five years later I developed tremors and was taken off of it because the thinking was it might have caused them. I also developed sleep problems (couldn't sleep). Whether my tremors and sleep problems were caused by the Ritalin is something no one could answer.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2000 Report Share Posted March 5, 2000 Hi Cindy I was put on Ritalin, but it was mainly for the Fibromyalgia I had and it does give you energy and you get less fatigued, but I stopped, because I felt like I was bouncing of the walls all the time and I developed high blood pressure too. My sister took it too and she had CMT and MS and it was to help her cognitively to be less foggy mentally.
