No, you should not take methylphenidate for this. Rather than adding one more medication just to avoid side effect of current medications better option is to modify your current medication regime. You may take these medications in night if you are taking in day or change the medication if you already taking them in night. Consult your treating psychiatrist or take second opinion from another psychiatrist nearby or online. All the best.

Dear lybrate-user
I am assuming you were prescribed Inspiral (methylphenidate) for ADHD. This medication will not cause long term changes to your brain, rather will help you increase productivity on a daily basis i.e. Each day you take them your work efficiency and quality of life will be better.
Over time this may help you have a better life amd increase your cnofidence. If you miss a dose your day could be worse than what ot was earlier due to rebound effects.

Meet a psychiatrist. He/She will assess you for ADHD. Taking concerta can be harmful especially without prescrpition.

Methylphenidate is in Schedule X of Drugs & Cosmetics Act. Only few pharmacies store Methyphenidate. Contact the Medical Representative in your area to get details of local availability. Ipca Innova & Sun Pharma are the leading providers of this medicine. If you are a Doctor, please feel free to contact me.

Addwize tablet will not help in either autism or in epilepsy. Its a medication prescribed for a condition known as attention deficiency hyperactive disorder (ADHD); autism needs specific behavior modification training & medications like phenytoin, valproate are given to control epilepsy. Good Luck

The medications that have been prescribed by the doctor / psychiatrist for your son are fine. Some people react differently to different medications and you might want to continue giving the medications if there are no serious side effects. The good effects of the medications take about 20-30 days for them to show up and I believe that you will be able to get over the bad effects once you start focusing on the good effects the medication is having. I also think that you should start to not read ...more
