In reply to switched to ritalin, first dose made me fall aslee, posted by Holden on May 6, 2002, at 18:32:17
Hi,
That happened to me too. I wasn't groggy, but defintely sleepy. I had been having trouble sleeping before that and started using ritalin as a sleep aid.
In the month since I started ritalin I have halved the dose, and also decreased the klonopin I was also on as I no longer seemed to need quite so much. As time has gone by I notice the sleepy quality of the feeling less and less.
So I'm not sure what you should do. For me lowering the dose and decreasing other meds helped, plus time also went by, so can't be sure which action had the beneficial effect.
