...get that loud. I need to add that in October, I was diagnosed with ADHD, and my psychiatrist put me on a small dose of the local version of Ritalin (5 mg a day first, then 10, then 15). It really helped with my restlessness and focus; I needed that. But I noticed twice that raising the dose...

...with the tinnitus by allowing him to focus on other things. He also tried Lisdexamfetamine but prefers being able to control his dosage, which is easier with Dexamfetamine. Ritalin did not seem to have the same effect. Dexamfetamine also noticeably improved his mood, which is often quite low.

I've heard similar things from people with ADHD and tinnitus. Getting medicated is probably the right decision.

Hi all, I am middle aged, recently diagnosed with ADHD. I never had tinnitus before. After I had taken Ritalin for two weeks, I started to get tinnitus and finally I could not take it anymore and stopped taking Ritalin yesterday. I do not smoke, drink or even have caffeine. As I type this, the...

I suffer from depression and can't concentrate so I look up Ritalin and there was no side effect for ringing in the ear but it is a stimulant so I wonder if it could worsen tinnitus?

...for my T but after feeling alot of ADHD symptoms for a couple years I figured I should try some ADHD meds. Basically I took about 4 mg of Ritalin and drank it down with water. Today is the day after and the feeling in my head is that I don't hear my T as much. Or at least it is not...

I am 60. I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and prescribed Ritalin which gave me a very stiff neck and headache up the back right side of my head. Then I heard the crickets. My psychiatrist changed me to Dexamfetamine (very low dose) and after about 3 days the buzzing intensified. I stopped all...

...sorry to hear you’re dealing with this. I'm in a similar situation. I developed tinnitus after taking what I believe was too high a dose of Ritalin. Early in my treatment, I took 20 mg in the morning and another 20 mg in the afternoon, when it should have been a 10 mg top-up. That afternoon...

Update: Just saw the audiologist. Hearing is perfect, no underlying issues so most likely it's the Ritalin. Will speak to my doctor regarding ADHD meds. I will ask for Dextroamphetamine first to see if that works, if not then titrate Ritalin back very very slowly. Tinnitus is still there, I've...

It's blood pressure that's the main culprit? I've been on Ritalin and it sent my heart pounding.

Thank you very much. It's still ongoing, but I have been reading a lot about it and it could be because Ritalin made me clench my jaw? I do feel today that my jaw is sore (I did stop Ritalin two days ago). I found this study, not sure if it's related. But will speak to my doctor on Monday to...

My blood pressure was still not super high. Max was 140/93 with pulse of 95. Mainly I was hovering around 130/85. Are you still on Ritalin? My doctor said that we can re-introduce it very very very slowly once we get to the bottom of the tinnitus. This is low for me as I am 95 kg, but will...

...yesterday, he told me that, if I do not notice improvements by Thursday, to contact my GP. He did say that it's a very rare side effect of Ritalin. What he did say is that, if the tinnitus goes away, to restart Ritalin but on super low dose (2 x 5mg) for two weeks, then up it by 5 mg on a...

This thread concerns the use strictly of central nervous system stimulants commonly prescribed for ADHD and narcolepsy. I recognize that these are not drugs used specifically for tinnitus. However, my recent experience in starting Adderall XR had a surprisingly positive impact on my tinnitus...

...forum @Ann Frances If there is no response to your question due to not a lot of readership in the Introduction, you can search the forum on Ritalin which seems to be the same as methylphenidate as explained by wikipedia.com https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methylphenidate I did a search on...

ADHD here - I take Concerta (extended release Ritalin) and find it has no impact on my tinnitus!

Your milage may vary; all stimulants except for caffeine seem to ramp up my ringing. I haven't taken ritalin in years, but amphetamines definitely have this effect and I can't imaine that ritalin would be different. If your problems with concentration stem from depression, I'm going to stick my...

...bed and it was super quiet I did notice ringing in my ears. So the question is, was the tinnitus always there and I was just ignoring it? Did Ritalin just make me more aware of it? Anyway, the doctor said that if indeed it was from Ritalin, then it may be a very very very very rare side...

...it comes to motivation, procrastination and task management. My doctor now put me back on low-dose Elvanse for a couple of days and my tinnitus is so loud as a result. I am wondering, if I go back on Ritalin, would my tinnitus just keep on getting worse, or is there a limit to how bad it...

I think ritalin might help you to direct focus onto what's important, i.e. other things than tinnitus.

...tinnitus would range between 5 to 7.5 out of 10. This all started when I started taking my ADHD medication, methylphenidate, also known as Ritalin. Over the past six months, I have slowly started taking a long release version form of methylphenidate, which is smoother and with my doctor we...

...Methylphenidate is a nervous system stimulant and probably takes longer than two days to leave your body. I know people who have been taking Ritalin and Concerta (slow-release Methylphenidate pill) for almost their entire lives. None of them had related tinnitus or hearing loss. I have...

I have a friend who has tinnitus (considers it mild though), and he's taken both ritalin and concerta. He started with ritalin and is now on concerta. No effect on tinnitus. @Louise has this nifty ototoxic drugs book, maybe she can share whether concerta is included, and if it is, how "bad" it...

Thanks, I don't plan on taking Ritalin because I have only taken it a couple of times. Your lucky that caffeine doesn't bother you because caffeine is one to kept away from. I quit coffee and all caffeine including hot chocolate. Thanks

Makes perfect sense! The ADHD meds made it possible for you to pay attention to tinnitus! I am kidding, sorry. I am curious. You have it some days, but not others? On the quiet days can you hear it if you look for it, or is it actually gone or "below the radar"? I am glad that you are doing...

Adderal done it, long term usage... same as bensoes done

Last year I developed tinnitus after taking Methylphenidate (Ritalin) for two weeks. I met with Prof. Dr. Dirk De Ridder last month, I told him I am on Concerta 18 mg and my tinnitus is 6 to 7 out of 10. I have been on 1 mg Intuniv (Guanfacine) for a week. I still can not see any benefits but it...

Has the Guanfacine affected your tinnitus at all so far? I'm thinking about trying it myself.

I don't know what much of that means but I wish you the best! Hang in there!

@Robert44 No not on any meds, I used to take ritalin but that's been a while so I don't think that's the cause. But thank u! Really needed to hear that. And yes, I'm a positive person. Everything becomes a habit, if you lose an arm, or your eyesight, they get used to it too. So I figured I will...

Has anyone tried trobalt / retigabine with ritalin / methylphenidate? Methylphenidate increases dopamine? reuptake inhibitor or actual dopamine stimulant seems to be conflicting ideas but generally accepted that it increases dopamine. Oh. is retigabine like gabapentin? anti convulsant...

Damn, my proofreading skills are abysmal.

...to do his own thing and my mom wasn't ready for how savage the world as a single mother was. The school system coerced her into putting my on Ritalin which ruined my childhood, and my dad married a real witch that was a cult leader and they tried to brainwash me into new age magic-y nonsense...

...a decade before it became common medical knowledge. The ulcer drugs were one of the biggest money-makers for the pharmaceutical companies and the end of the ulcer drugs has been credited with the pharmaceutical companies shift towards marketing drugs for mental illness like ritalin and prozac.

I also had a meeting with Dr. De Ridder. He suggested the same cocktail to me + Aripiprazole 2 mg. He says to do this for 2-3 months, then take as needed. I introduced Latuda as a possible alternative to Aripiprazole and he said in theory it's a good choice. He recommended adding Cyclobenzaprine...

Sorry to hear that buddy. At least now it’s all behind you… It’s really unbelievable the side effects of a lot of these drugs.

...these, 249,699 were on anti-anxiety meds like Xanax; 26,406 were on antidepressants such as Prozac or Paxil, 1,422 were on ADHD drugs such as Ritalin and Adderall, and 654 were on antipsychotics such as Risperdal and Zyprexa In the toddler category (2- to 3-year-olds), 318,997 were on...

I was force fed Ritalin from about the age of 8 to 14 when I was old enough to realize that I could say "Hey I'm not taking this anymore and I'm big enough to make you feel physically threatened so fuck off." I suffered many, many horrible migraines during that period of time. I was just a...

Hardly! I was a dexadrine/ritalin kid, and then I used adderall on and off in college. Of course, I also took a ton of other stuff, and I was a premature baby, so who knows which did what.... This is sort of interesting because last time I was in crisis mode with my T was during last summer...

...5 - why is tinnitus worse when we don't sleep much? 6 - Not eating well won't help tinnitus. But can it make T worse? 7 - Is concerta, ritalin... bad for tinnitus? 8 - been using DYMISTA for some weeks, and my noise is bleeding when I blow it. Not a lot, it doesn't really hurt, but I guess...

...is affected and another not by caffeine, different foods, etc. It's been linked (if not proven) that regular coffee consumption can reduce the chance of getting Parkinson's. Ritalin, a stimulant, is used to CALM the symptoms of hyperactivity. It's all so complex, with so many factors involved.

...the same (or worse) situations helps me get through. Also the replies here represent many of the realities of my life. ADHD from childhood (Ritalin at 8 yrs old), PTSD from early teens (wouldn't wish what happened to me on my worst enemy), OCD from who knows when and PVCs (irregular...

Just seen this. Who the hell prescribes these drugs for babies, toddlers and children? The prescribers should be shot on the spot. I would say the same about some of the parents, but they often aren't educated about this stuff and are only following the doctor's orders. These kids are going to...

...could all be due to the fact that I lost lots of weight and did exercise all the time. But I wonder because my doctor wants to put me on Ritalin Adult for my ADHD but I can’t handle the rebound at the end of the day so he asked me to increase the Mirtazapine to 30 mg. The first two days my...

That is eye opening article. It's sickening that useless drug dealers, also described as psychiatrists, prescribe this poison to young children damaging their brain and thinking in the long run and making them depended on dangerous drugs with a laundry list of side effects. I personally can...

...muscles while doing yoga also does good things for me. Before T, I suffered from mild chronic depression and ADD. My psychiatrist gave me Ritalin/Methylphenidate for it, but it had annoying side effects. Actually, it did help with the mild depression and it made me feel very good. So I went...

...who accused me of being a lazy hypochondriac because I was bed bound for most of my days after not being able to breathe. Offered me Ritalin of all things and other questionable substances without explaining shit to me. Thirdly was a horrible neurologist who from the get-go questioned my...

...Clozaril, and Abilify. Children are also receiving drugs for ADHD in record numbers including the stimulants Adderall, Dexedrine and Ritalin, often combined with drugs approved only to treat adults with epilepsy such as Depakote and Neurontin. Experts say its not uncommon to see children on...

...BP is very normal and resting heartbeat 56. About 10 years ago I got put on Wellbutrin and it did zero, except cost a lot. Then they tried Ritalin, and within 24 hours I could have gone Postal I was so crazy feeling. But, I hate no one and felt no one had ever done me wrong so I just bought...
