> Do doctors in the U.S. ever go past 60mg standard realease for adults? Or is 60mg of SR as high as most go?
>I live down under, and was started at 10mgs B.I.D IR Methylphenidate. This was increased to 40mgs then 60, to a high of 80mgs, 20mgs Q.I.D.
I usually take less than this, hence why i have over 200 10mg Methylphenidate tabs sitting here.
I guess it depends on the Doc. If you appear needy and seem to be wanting a higher dose, without explaining why, many Docs will be hesistant.
If you explain your progress and how it's going for you, in a colaborative way with the Doc, they may be more inclined to help you, as opposed to a patient who seems to just want higher doses of a Sch 11 med, for non clear reasons.
