> Also, a question for any of you using Ritalin: Do you ever have caffiene while you are on the Ritalin? How did you find the caffiene (as in coffee or sodas) affected the Ritalin's effectiveness?

> Sara T.Hi Sara-
Thanks for the new med update. I use plain old
Ritalin. 10mg 3 or 4 times per day. Right now I'm
sipping my 2nd 20oz coffee of the day (there's a
convenience store a few blocks away).I don't seem to wake up until I've had my coffee,
Ritalin or not. The combination does not get me
wired or cause any other probs.I can't drink more than 2 large coffees tho, or I
will get jumpy, Ritalin or not.I have taken 20 or 30mg Ritalin and not felt any
more effect than taking 10mg. Coffee & 30mg feels
the same as coffee & 10mg.And so ends my long-winded response, hope you are
well,
hb
