Hi!
Does anyone know of or experienced a negating effect of
generic(g) Ritalin when combined with higher than average
intake of Iodine (the kind in Cellasene from bladderwrack)??
any other supplement and/or OTC medication?
Anyway, upon re-medication on last Wed., one
20 mg SR (g)Ritalin did not "kick-in". So, I took another
and still no effect.I called the pharmacist and he was not
aware of any recalls of the batch that he took my pills
from, he did mention that they had opened a new bottle to
fill the prescription. Well, today I took two more and still
no effect. Just as unfocused and spacey as when not medicated.
So, I called the pharmacist again and mentioned the Cellasene.
He said it could be a possibility that something in the product
was interfering with the uptake of the Ritalin, so that
absorption was being blocked in some way.
He suggested going off the Cellasene and seeing what happens.
I know the Thyroid gland is a big iodine absorber, but what
does that have to do with the absorption of Ritalin? Or maybe
the Iodine is not the problem???Thanks,
Sharon
