Low-Dose Methylphenidate in the Very Old

Harvard Medical School

Erlene Rosowsky

Massachusetts Mental Health Center, Boston, MA

Two patients, aged 104 and 91 years, who presented with medical problems and depression were successfully treated with 1.25 to 5 mg of methylphenidate without evidence of tolerance or toxicity. Benefits were sustained for more than 8 months on smaller amounts of this central nervous system stimulant than has been previously reported. (J Geriatr Psychiatry Neurol 1990;3:152-154).
