Headaches from Ritalin as an adult???

Question

How long till they go away??

Answer 1

Yes, headaches are a known side effect of Ritalin. In most cases, the headaches will go away once you have adjusted to the medication. The headaches should disappear after two weeks. If they persist, see your doctor as he can switch you to a different medication.

Sometimes, you have to try several medications to find the one that works best for you and works without any side effects. If it has already been two weeks or if the headaches are getting worse with each passing day, please call your doctor asap.
