Guest guest Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Connie:NO side effects! It's working for me. The first week I was on 5 mg. once in the morning. Now I'm on 5 mg. morning and again at noon. Yesterday the fatigue starting hitting at 11:30 and I took the pill at noon but it was too late. I had to lie down and went to sleep for nearly 2 hours. But then I woke up feeling good and went about my day with more energy than before Ritalin. Next week I start 2 of the 5 mg. in the morning and one at noon. The last week is 10 mg. morning and 10 mg. at noon. How much do you take? Do you have any side effects? So far Ritalin is WAY better than Provigil.hugs))Sharon This email is a natural hand made product.

Hi and Amantadine Hi all, I am a new member, looking forward to learn from all the others here! My wife, , was diagnosed with MS in december – and I have been searching for a good group or web forum whith other people afflicted by MS one way or the other. Seems I found it here! Now, I have one question already... has been prescribed Amantadine, and has been taking it for a week (2 pills every day for this, the first week, and after that it's supposed to be 4 pills every day, according to the prescription) . So far whe feels it is helping her with her fatigue some, even if it doesn't take it away completely. She is a little concerned with possible side effects, the doctor said there is virtually none, but it would help to hear from someone who have personal experience with that drug. Therefor, everybody, what are your experiences with Amantadine? Side effects? Did/does it help you? Does it continue to help when you have been on it for a while, or is it one of those drugs whose effect tend to wear off when you get more used to it? love /Reb Luggage? GPS? Comic books?

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Sharon, Yah!! I am so glad it is working for you. I take the slow release formula. It is 20mg and releases for I think 12 hours. I was taking 10mg in the morning and 10mg at noon. My neuro wanted me to try this option. Only one pill in the morning. I do have to watch and not take it too late. After 10am and it keeps me awake. Glad your fatigue is more stable. It feels so good not to be exhausted all the time J Connie From: MSersLife [mailto:MSersLife ] On Behalf Of Sharon Marsden Sent: Monday, July 09, 2007 10:09 AM To: MSersLife Subject: Re: Sharon/ Ritalin Connie: NO side effects!

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Connie:It sure does feel good not to be so fatigued I can't stay awake. Didn't you say you were going to ask to go back to the non-slow release? If so, why?Sharon This email is a natural hand made product.
