Misc Ritalin (concerta) comedown?

[guy1234]

today i have consumed 4 alza 36 tablets (one unaltered, one chewed, one bitten in segments and one with the time release removed) am i likely to get a bad comedown? if so what will it be like and are there any things i can do to ease it?

notes:
i have no access to benzos, alcohol or weed (no money) so i'm looking for things like certain foods to eat, lying down, things to drink blah blah, but mainlly for a description of the comedown

It all depends on how much your body is use to taking those medications, and how high you get. If you get really high then you will come down harder. If you only get slightly high, than the comedown will be minimal.

Generally I would get headaches and feel tired and achy overall. You feel like you are exhausted and want to rest but your mind wont stop thinking constantly, and your eyes might start to hurt because you keep moving them around.

I would reccomend benzos to help but since you dont have that, I would say take some tylenol or naproxen and lay down before you start feeling really crappy and concentrate on relaxing and hopefully by the time you start to feel like shit, you will have calmed your mind enough to get through it smoothly.

with these kinds of stimulants, you need benzos or at least alcohol.

if you have some, take some diphenhydramine(benedryl) or doxylamine(nyquil, unisom). 75mg. should help you fall asleep.

doing strong uppers without proper downers is like going sky diving without a parachute- when you come down its gonna hurt.

Never take off without landing gear...

Make sure you get plenty of water and food throughout the day and take diphenhydramine or doxylamine and a NSAID about an hour before you go to sleep. If you've got melatonin, valerian, 5htp, or anything else that's gonna make you drowsy they'll also help.

you'll be fine. little kids take that stuff every day- granted, not 4x the recommended dosage, but still... it's not like you're on a 4-day metyh binge; you broke the time release on xr ritalin.

You are right.....but I personally have taken large amounts of this drug and the comedown was comparable to meth...im not saying it was as bad, but it as definitely "comparable".....if you know what I mean.

...basically....its not fun

no doubt. just trying to put things in perspective here.

true true....no matter how much Ritalin I took, it never felt like a 4 day meth binge when I came down.

The worst I ever felt I would compare to a 1 day moderate meth binge.

(and im talking like upwards of 20-30 pills snorted/ingested)

Without the aforementioned refreshments, it's likely to be at least an extremely uncomfortable experience. Try to eat some eggs and bananas and take plenty of water.

 

[doIhavePotential]

try some green tea or ginger tea to have something to do that is also calming in its own way.

 

[guy1234]

thanks i will obviously make sure i am prepared next time will find some eggs + bananas + tea

I am prescribed 56mg Concerta for my ADD. I have been known to kill my entire RX(30 pills) in 3 days. I found this thread very helpful.

I have noticed much less of a comedown since I started taking a magnesium supplement. Of course I take up to 6mgs of xanax daily and cannot imagine doing speed without a benzo. The above recommendation for melatonin is something you may want to look into.also,herbal tea-sleepy time works well-anything with chamomile will help relax you. Milk will also "kill" your amp buzz. I cannot recall the thread I read that in,but you can use the search engine to find it. Warm milk and turkey are both great sources of triptithan which work naturally to induce sleep. Orgasms are always a great way to expel energy and relax-so is exercise,it just isn't as fun IMO . And don't overlook subliminal relaxation techniques and CDs,aromatherapy, hot baths,ect...
There are a lot of natural options out there.Just remember,everyone reacts differently to different substances. What works for me may have zero effect on you. Utilize the search engine here on Bluelight ,as well as the internet in general. There is free information EVERYWHERE!!! Good luck and use responsibly. Be safe and stay safe...especially with time release drugs. Like I said-everyone is different. Better safe than sorry.
Peace and Love...........skillz
