A member asked:
Is it possible to reach tolerance at the highest preacribed dose of ritalin (methylphenidate)? or do you reach a certain dose that will be effective for forever?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: You might experience, most often partially, tolerance to some of the effects (not necessarily the therapeutic ones..). And no, there s no chance to effective forever...If you think about it (consider all collateral effects, this might require further clarification upon request..) maybe, fortunately.
