A member asked:
Just started today on ritalin 5mg, and i'm more exhausted than i was before, prescribed for cfs and fibro?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
??Ritalin???: Not really the drug of choice for fibromyalgia nor cfs. I suggest calling your prescribing physician and discussing alternative medications such as SSRI therapy or the use of Lyrica or Savella.
