A member asked:
Will i always stay at the same dose of ritalin (methylphenidate) or will i have to go higher because of tolerance?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Ritalin (methylphenidate) as a drug does not suffer from tolerance issues like opiates & many other classes of drugs. When you reach a dose form and amount that appears to meet your needs you could remain there for years.
