Stimulants Extreme tiredness after five day ritalin binge

[Coatzaking]

Yes, I'm an idiot. Last week, from Saturday to Wednesday, I consumed around 1g of ritalin (around 200mg a day, spaced out throughout the day). During this period, I slept well every night, ate full meals as well as protein shakes and fruit. That being said, afterwards I felt extremely tired and fatigued. All I wanted to do was sleep for two to three days after. If this normal, despite the fact I was able to sleep every night during the binge? I'm worried it might have been due to something like rhabdomyolysis. I had mild muscle pain, but I currently feel fine six days on from the end of the binge. I'm no longer tired, my mind is clear and I feel healthy. Should I be concerned? Thanks.

I’ve never not been extremely lethargic/slept for days after any sort of stimulant binge. I’d say you’re fine

Hey bud, if not alarmed then lucky and hopefully a lesson learned.

I once read an article on ephedrine hcl that people actually got more sleepy, there reason being over stimulation so hence having the opposite effect, but this was a very long time ago i come across this, how true i don't know but hope you wont try it again

I don’t think it’s the case here. Ephedrine is known to be a particularly bad stim with bad side effects as it is. But I’m almost certain OPs case is just the “crash” after a stimulant binge. Your body quickly adapts to have the go-juice and when you stop abruptly you’re tired for a few days. Honestly that’s the one thing I like about stims - no real WD. It’s usually only mental and tiredness for a little while lol

This is pretty normal stuff for someone ending a stimulant binge. People who are wicked dependent on Methamphetamine can easily sleep for 5-7 days (waking up to piss, get water etc). Even after that the person is going to feel like they have no energy whatsoever. This causes a struggle for those getting sober from stimulants, as they cannot find motivation or hope for a long time after quitting.

In your case, sleeping for a couple of days is to be expected. I understand you slept during your binge, though who knows what kind of sleep that actually was.

If I were you, I wouldn't keep doing this. I can't imagine this whole experience is actually "fun" in any way. Methylphenidate (Ritalin; Concerta) has a specific dosage window for recreational usage. In my experience, exceeding this window creates an experience more resembling an extended, mild panic attack than a good time.

If you are an addict like myself, it's not good to just have access to that much Methylphenidate. You're not going to be able to stop once you get started. Your mind will keep telling you to take more until the moment you realize you've totally fucked up. Then you sit on the couch for ~8 hours with your heart pounding wondering if you should call 911.

That was my experience. In the future, do not get that much Methylphenidate. Take ~50mg tops. You won't be high as a fucking kite, but hey, you might actually be good enough to go interact with other people and do something cool.

I'm not trying to preach man. I just know for a fact that that much Methylphenidate is a bad time.

I’ve always been far more into downers, but stims have pretty much been a partnered requirement because not only ADD but also the much needed energy due to the downers lol. A few had energizing enough qualities to them(tramadol/oxy) at first but I found they quickly faded with tolerance. I don’t have time to be lazy and unfortunately opiates other than fent(or suboxone) have become near impossible to get so stimulants, namely meth, have become my DOC. Stims suck though, at least by themself. if I had any other real options their use would be far more limited

I hear you, opiates or even benzos for that matter are a bitch to find..so this makes absolute sense. I actually know a few ppl who feĺl out because meth was easier to obtain than pills, even Adderall...when I say fell out I mean went from chasing opiates to trying meth and then never looking back burning everyone including their family & kids.

Tis be the shit I hate about tweakers and everything experienced as a kid growing up..but that's a matter of opinion and older I get the more I realize that life is tough and some are on different levels

But I don't think opiates/opioids make you lazy. If anything once addicted to opioids it's the one thing that GIVES you back the ambition(that it also stole)to get something done or go back to a hobby you had once loved..without it you are lethargic and of course in or already starting withdrawal.

The lazy part I mainly meant for today, with no opiates at all, but somewhat for back when I could get them with ease too. I took on a lot of responsibility at a young age and while opiates did give me some drive it never lasted very long. I think my ever increasing doses just made it hard to function, and there was always an addition of another downer(or alcohol) thrown in to try to combat taking more and more, which just results in higher doses of both and higher doses of whatever stims I was on lol.

Luckily I’m experienced enough that I didn’t let it ruin my life, but meth grabbed onto me a lot easier than I thought it would. I’m still the same ol’ me, just a bit skinnier but I just tell everybody it’s because I quit drinking lol. Which is in part true, it definitely helped a lot but honestly I think the sex has contributed more to my weight loss than lack of nutrition or anything from meth use as I still do eat well, most days. My girl likes it long/hard/rough even without smoking, on the shit we can literally fuck all night and at first that shit was putting my beer gut to work she’s the first girl I’ve been with that can go for as long as I want(or am able to lol) I won’t toot my own shit or go into detail but most other girls I’ve been with always tapped out long before I was done

Only problem now is, after getting off subs the “long” part is getting shorter. Guess I didn’t realize how much opiates had related to my returning rider rate(I’m almost always on the receiving ends of the booty calls) Luckily I locked this one down with a ring though, don’t think she’s gonna go anywhere. In 18 years of having sex, these last few weeks are the first I’ve had it without being on some form of opiate. Not that I’m cumming in seconds like some American Pie shit, but if I don’t focus real hard on not busting the meeting adjourns real early ya know lol

What about you age?

Young your scenario alike baking a Egg. Now I been on my knees to god why did i do it, again ?
Next day to old for this. For me thats skipping a night of sleep atm. ain t won t , even hate it.

That you slept on MPH allready is a accomplishment in itself if you used no downers.

My body chemistry differs a bit as detro-Amphetamne prescribed in the cupboard thats a given thing .
Motivates and wakens me. Cannabis too stims a bit but goes real hard on productivity and creativety [outta the box thinking also]
Alcohol at certain intervals nice add on [bad advice], the breath, hate that unsmellable Alcohol at little doses would be swell.

Benzos nor Opiods stimulate me, Kratom the ecceprtion. but a Benzo or a similar downer at times,
yeah great when done. and finished.

How come there are lazy Cannabis smokers always been my main question,
how can you do nothing more then nothing, bla bla,

Do games or watch movies on it is beyond me, better take LSD for that, would be my first thought.
And get busy when consuming Pot.
