You are taking HOW: Much ritalin (methylphenidate)? Holy moley. I do lots of high/ off label dosing of psychiatric drugs but i am surprised by your dose. Medical causes need to be ruled out before anyone can begin to suggest that this is due to anxiety. Please talk with your provider about considering an approach other then ritalin (methylphenidate).
