A member asked:
Which ritalin (methylphenidate) ir doses and concerta doses are considered risky for causing psychosis ? so beginning which dose psychosis risk is high ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I don't think it is: Quite that simple. I saw a young boy develop psychosis at a starting dose of stimulant because he almost immediately flipped in full blown mania.
