Guest guest Posted May 16, 2002 Report Share Posted May 16, 2002 Hi , My dad, who is 82, has been taking Ritalin (7.5 mg a day) for several years now. His neurologist from Barrows Neurological in Phoenix has been very pleased at my dad's progress. It has worked well for him. He takes 5 mg at breakfast and 2.5 mg at noon. When he was first diagnosed he was sleeping all the time. He has been focused and alert and has done very well with the Ritalin. He has not had any liver problems or any other strange side effects from the Ritalin. My dad is actually better than he was several years ago and we don't know why. We didn't even think he would be here with us now. Hope your new meds work for you . Jean (Phoenix) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
