Is it true that generally , the effective ritalin (methylphenidate) dose is 1mg/kg/day ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ritalin (methylphenidate): The dose is very dependent on the person's reaction. At 17 it is less likely to be dosed based on weight. Check with your prescribing doc. Be sure to ask about when you need liver function tests.
