Hi!

Thank you for the clarification.
I`m hypersensitive to most meds myself, but thanks good not to Ritalin. There is a third kind of medication for narcolepsy, called Dexedrine, which contains ampethamine (Ritalin don`t), but I suppose you`re aware of that.
I have no side effects from Ritalin, so the only thing that worries me is that I have to take it every day the rest of my life and that sums up to pretty much... I guess the wise thing is not to think about it.
Still I plan to try biting my 10mg in half when I get a day off, just to see if I`m in fact taking more meds than needed. If it don`t work out I`ll just call it a drug holiday!
