No, but the ADD/ADHD stims are. I also had nausea all day and could not eat more than approx 1. slice of pizza for lunch and dinner up til age 16 on days that I took the smallest dose of methylpenidate. In summer, when I was not on it, I actually resumed average eating and growth. My growth chart, before age 8 starting it, was right around 50th percentile in height/weight, and by age 16, was was around bottom 5th percentile.

- hnuser123456 4y agoDid you experience nausea on them? Was it methylphenidate? Which formulation and dose? I had 1yr ritalin, 1yr adderall, and 6 yrs concerta 18mg. At this point the sight of "alza 18" on a small tan cylinder makes me want to puke.
- cglace 4y agoI took all of the above. It didn't give me nausea but it did give me dry mouth and made me not really want to eat. However, when I got home I was ravenous and would always eat two dinners.
