My first pdoc that prescribed Ritalin was 5 or 10mg but it was not slow release. I would get a huge rush and talk incessantly and then after about an hour start to cry. I would suggest taking the slow release. I would also suggest starting with the smallest dose, which I think is 10mg but it might be 20.
It is the no drowsy form of Sudafed. My current pdoc, who was not treating me at the time, suggested it because we were not sure the pdoc I had would prescribe the Ritalin. I did try it and it worked. Again it has the same drawback as the Ritalin about hypertensive crisis and it was half of one of those little red pills.
By the way if you do start any of this I would also suggest investing in an inexpensive blood pressure gage. If you start getting a headache take your blood pressure. I would take it now and then at first just to make sure my blood pressure was still okay and take it several times before you start anything to get a baseline.irene
