Subject: Re: Ritalin & Dyslexia Author: Ann Thompson [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 09:36:42 09/18/09 Fri In reply to: Gary 's message, "Ritalin & Dyslexia" on 20:33:32 09/08/09 Tue Many people have found ritalin to be helpful. But it does have side effects for many people. Read about the side effects, try it, and see how your body reacts. Your doctor is probably not a dummy, and probably has good reason for suggesting you give it a try... Good luck whatever you decide!

[> Subject: Re: Ritalin & Dyslexia Author: Christine [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:30:37 09/20/09 Sun I use Adderall XR and it works great for me. I was also diagnosed with dyslexia as a child and didn't find out I had ADHD until I was 36years old. You may want to ask your doctor if ritalin is for people with ADD or ADHD. If he says both, ask how will it effect you since you don't have ADHD or you may ask for something that's just for ADD. While you're at the library, looking up the books that were recommended earlier, look up "Overcoming Dyslexia" it's by Sally Shaywitz. You can also ask the librarian if they have them on CD so you can listen to them.(I'd rather listen then read.) If they don't have them you can request them.
