HELP-ED-UK LINKAGE 3 BEERS- RITALIN-ect

Posted by paulbwell on December 23, 2004, at 11:14:47

Hi to all of you very knowledgeable people,

I was wondering if there was a way to slow Ritalin tolerance, and/or increase effectiveness

I am aware of baking soda, and cough syrup for Aphetamines,

and wondered if there was other methods for Ritalin IR to prevent ever increasing doses.

Cheers folks-Merry Xmas-Thanks for your wisdom.

Paul

Two routes I know of and those are

a) Glutamate (NMDA) antagonists,
Zinc, Magnesium, Lithium, Vitamin C,
DXM (dextromethorphan)

b) Catecholamine precursors/memebrane enhancers
L-tryosine, L-phenlylalanine, Omega-3 (plumps
up dopamine/serotonin receptors)

You can take the NMDA antagonists in the evening after the drug wears off, and L-tyrosine in the morning with the stimulant.

Note, go slow in combining the stimulant with the L-tyrosine as it may cause excessive stimulant effects.

Hi,

I am scripted 20mgs Tid IR 10mg tabs.

Glutamate NMDA Antagonists?? what are these??

Lithium as in the same one used for Bipolar 1?

I know DMX works for Opiates-Morphidex a Pill with 80mgs of each slows tolerance to the Morph. But Rit??? for real??

I am also taking 150mgs Tofranil, which aparently potentiates Rit-or the other way around?

I take 10 fish oil caps, Zinc, Mag a good multi

Thanks heaps Link, appreciated

Merry Xmas-God bless

Cheers Paul

Hi!

>Glutamate NMDA Antagonists?? what are these??

Some people have reported good results with memantine (Namenda/Ebixa) for reducing tolerance to stimulants. I don't know how well it really works though! Memantine is an NMDA antagonist, it is used to treat Alzheimer's disease.
