Summary:[...]of our assessments, the patient was diagnosed with ADHD, and 27 mg/day of long-acting methylphenidate treatment was initiated. The side effects are mostly mild and temporary (4). Besides mild and temporary side effects, there are also studies in the literature that have reported psychotic findings related to the use of methylphenidate. [...]it was learned from her family that the patient sometimes had used indomethacin for a short time (max. 1 week) also before using methylphenidate and experienced no problem. [...]psychotic symptoms quickly disappeared only after cessation of indomethacin therapy. [...]in rare cases, drug-drug interactions can lead to dangerous situations for patients.
