So besides the fact I keep getting told Ritalin is just meth/speed and getting crap for it. Even tho it's working for my CFS. I take Loritab 10 and hasn't been working like it usually does. Does the Ritalin cancel out the effects some what? It's a neverending battle, either I can't get pain under control or I can't get any energy, there's no perfect middle.

        @Radalice518 i have ADHD and i take ritalin for it. it works well for me. you should try it! if it doesn't work well for you, it's okay, the effects will be gone in a few hours and you can try a different medication instead. also, i'm assuming you were given short-release? short-release increased my anxiety but long-release mostly doesn't, so if short release works but has some side-effects, consider trying long-release. If you don't like it, it will be done after several hours and you can try something else

      i mean loritab is a sedative and ritalin is a stimulant and they both work on different receptors.
