A member asked:
My gp upped my ritalin (methylphenidate) from 5mg x2 daily to 10mg x2 daily. i feel more cloudy and tired. will this go away?

Please speak: to your doctor. Usually an increased dose of Ritalin (methylphenidate) does the opposite. Certainly some changes in medication doses take time to adjust to, but you're really best to speak with the doctor who knows you and prescribed it.
