i take ritalin. i feel bloated in the morning. i cant wake up. ia am slow. it takes like 3 hs to go away
is it normal? has anybody experienced sth like this?
Do you take ritalin right when you wake up? I am sluggish in the morning too, but if I take adderall, it pops me out of bed. Did you have an easier time getting out of bed before ritalin?! Mara every individual is different but my best guess is that since Ritalin is a stimulate it should not have this effect on you. Are you taking anything else? Sometimes doctors treat multiple issues that exist with ADHD. Me, I have depression with my ADHD (such a nice combo) so my meds for depression had to work well with the meds for my ADHD. Now this is where the problems occur. Takes a while to find the right mix and dosage. You are your best judge........if you are not feeling good go back to the doctor and explain what is happening and ask for a med adjustment. I have the same problem I am on 60mg of ritalin LA. I take it a hour before I have to get up. I still have a hard time waking up. I told my dr and she gave me provigl. It is for narcalepcy. I do not have narcalepcy I am just really super lazy. I can not help it either. I try I really do!! I am getting better. I am only late to work now if I am to lazy to take my meds a hour before I get up. It makes my tummy feel bloated too. I asked my dr about adderall and she said they they will not give it to anyone.
