| Re: Should I ask to increase dosage of ritalin?
Based on anecdotal evidence, it seems like the 3 month mark is when Ritalin loses some effectivity for alot of people.
You really must talk to your doctor. Although short acting Ritalin, taken orally, is not generally considered addictive, there can be issues of tolerance.
Sometimes tolerance is mysteriously acute (ie. one day it just doesn't work then it does again the next day) while more rarely it is lasting.
Due to this and because of the wide variety of possible side effects, you should never ever change your dosage without talking to your doc (unless of course he/she asks you to experiment with a limited range of dosages to find the one that works best for you.)
Also, be aware that there are a number of posters on this board with beliefs about stimulant medications that are not scientifically proven. Some of these claims can be very scary. Don't let them get to you - a trained physician or psychiatrist will be able to give you the most reliable info about the drug.
Good luck.
