what is the highest dose you can take on ritalin?

Answer 1

I think the maximum dose is 40 mg. But you shouldn't need to know that as your doctor should be telling you how much to take. It may seem like it's not having an effect, and it may not be. Doctors usually prescribe a low dose to start with, and then move up until it works. You want to find the lowest effective dose because Ritalin is a stimulant and an appetite surpressent, so you take more than you need, you basically stop eating and sleeping. Don't mess with the dose yourself - let your doctor handle it.

Answer 2

There is 5,10,and 20 mg.
