I have been on 20 mg a day of ritalin (methylphenidate) for a month. i just ran out. i see my doctor on wednesday. will i have withdrawals?

Unlikely: Very unlikely and if so the symptoms will be mild. We do prescribe stimulants and recommend "drug holidays" on weekends and vacations if the need for hi level of concentration and performance is less.
