Basic Ritalin/Methylphenidate Advice

[chasingabee]

I have a few 20mg Methylphenidate tablets. I plan to take one tomorrow to see if it will help me to focus when I'm doing my online programming course. Can anyone tell me what I should expect from 20mg. Am I likely to crash and feel really shitty for the rest of the day when it wears off for example?

i don't think sensible dosages of Ritalin will result in a comedown, but everyone's different

Honestly, with a safe dosage like that, you should be fine. You might not even notice a comedown. Just stay hydrated and eat before you take the pill cause you might not want to eat while youre on it, but you still need nutrition

Insightful advice which I commend highly to remember reminding of; taking drugs and especially stims, your well-being depends on fueling the dragster for a day proper at the strip.

Bizarre how we so easily forget to pay special attention to the blaringly obvious dictation given to us by Occams Razor - there's real demand for nutrition and liquids, when going into overdrive mode with our bodies. Vitamins, salts, water bottle carry-on, conscious mindfulness of timelapse progress and consumption order/timepoint. Sounds complex but it's done with multi-vitamin pills, a bottle and water tap, a watch - and your brains. Payout can be tremendous.
