Good morning,i currently take 200mg limictin a day and they want to put me on ritalin (methylphenidate) for adult adhd. is there a chance of bad side effects?

If I understand: You perhaps mean "Lamictal" and there should be no significant drug-drug interaction with Ritalin, (methylphenidate) but check the former's blood level after starting just to make certain.
