I'm on 6x10 mg of ritalin, and one thing that helped me with it losing its effectiveness is taking a reduced or no dose on weekends, and making a concerted effort to get plenty of sleep. I noticed that I'd be sleeping less when I took it, and eventually the ritalin was just counteracting how tired I was, but not providing any benefit beyond that.
- seattledev 6y agoUnfortunately this didn't work for me because it meant I would just sleep 20 hours a day of weekends and essentially didn't have a weekend
- disiplus 6y agothat's me right now. i dont take it weekends in hope i dont get dependent on it.
