In the beginning ritalin worked for me, but now it makes me sick to my stomach and no clarity what so ever. The up is so short lived and the crash is terrible.
You mentioned phentermine, I hope you weren't taking ritalin and phentermine at the same time. That's a good way to have a heart attack. Don't mean to sound preachy, but they are both pscycostimulants. Are you taking name brand or generic ritalin. Generic is worthless in my opionion. Dexedrine and adderall have worked much better for me. Food and what you are drinking with your medication can also effect how your meds work. No OJ, caffiene. Meds should be on an empty tummy. Should wait an hour before you eat anything.
I took trazadone for sleep, once. It was a bad trip...I laid in bed about 6 hours not able to move, but not able to sleep. When I fianlly did get up, it was very dizzy and had to lay back down quickly. I thought that I read it can cause weight gain...I could be mistaken though.
Good luck to you...sorry if I got preachy
