Stimulants does anyone else get a nightmarish feeling off ritalin?

That is the case, yes. Focalin is generally preferred by many because it has a better pharmacological profile. In general people find it "smoother" and less jittery.

In a sense, like Dexedrine versus Adderall.
 
I'm prescribed 10mg ir and 30 xr. Script gets filled and taken as prescribed. 45 minutes later Im taking more of the ir. Increasing the dosage to 30mg. In a 24 hour period I will take 300mg of the irs. Its not that i find it enjoyable. But that the cravings from the come down are unbeatable so the only option I see is to finish the script ASAP. And happy when it's gone. A month later the scripts filled and the process is repeated.
 
And from what I've read on other sites. No one is getting close to the milligrams im consuming. Surely there are just not a poster or had a weak heart
 
Don't know about methylphenidate - but ethylphenidate certainly make me anxious, paranoid and shaky if I smash the granny out of it.
 
This definitely happens man. I was using Adderall for about 3 months and eventually it just backfired on me. I would get crazy anxiety and thoughts and think I was going crazy.... I would crash really hard too for some reason. To this day I cannot tolerate amphetamines or any upper really; they just effect me in such a negative way after that experience. I would suggest laying off the uppers... I promise you, you're going to throw yourself in a very bad place if you continue to do what you've been doing.

Wow stop fucking doing that you're gonna pop your ticker.

300mg a day on intense binges is really bad for you. Methylphenidate is a strong CNS/PNS stimulant ffs. :| just switch to dexedrine so you can take one and enjoy the high and have a very light and mild comedown. so you can use your script for what it's intended for. And I have taken large doses like this of Ethylphenidate, Focalin (d-methylphenidate) and adderall... it becomes almost dysphoric at those doses, but I know waht you mean, the Methylphenidate has such a rancid comedown.

to give some background i have 10 mg ritalin tabs prescribed for ADD. i was originally diagnosed with epilepsy and severe anxiety.

anyways i have CRAZY anxiety that doesn't go away, and nothing breaks it for me, insane amounts of vicodin, clonazepam, and other downers don't cut it... it's really a curse. however, when i take my ritalin it's like it slows my thoughts down, and helps me focus.. however as of recently it's been making me a little delusional...

an example, last night i was outside waiting for my friend to pick me up so we can go to a party, and i had taken my regular dose of ritalin before hand to make me a little more sociable as i wasn't planning on drinking. it kicked in and i felt the concentration and relaxing effects kick in.. when suddenly it's like it kicked into overdrive and i started getting a feeling like i was going crazy, like in another dimension or something.. everything seemed melancholic and even scary, the cars, the rain drops, the air i was breathing all took on a nightmarish tone. i felt like at any moment i'd start seeing things that weren't there.. of course i didn't...

a few weeks ago i watched the movie prisoners with some friends, and it traumatized me, i kept feeling like i was the guy and it was my girlfriend that had been kidnapped in the movie. ritalin generally makes me very screwy in the mind.. it used to simply stimulate me, now it's like it has a mild psychedelic touch... but in a bad way...

has this ever happened to anyone? i'm afraid i'm developing a reverse tolerance to its negative effects, i'm afraid of having full-blown psychosis eventually...

btw i severely doubt i'm epileptic because i know someone will bring it up... i simply can't be, i've never had a seizure of any kind, even after massive amounts of cocaine, tramadol, amphetamine, and other pro-epileptics..

bump. sorry, i answered a couple questions and lowered my own :(

Ritalin acts very similar to cocaine hydrocloride. It gives a similar effect to snorting cocaine, and is a stimulant. I doubt the nightmarish feelings are coming form the Ritalin, it might be due to a it interacting with other medication. But Ritalin for anxiety/depression in my opinion is very effective, but it is also addictive and if the person on them isn't highly deceplined more often then not they'll self increase their dosage.

there is a freakish attitude of doctors prescribing, downers for depression and anxiety, when they should actually prescribing stimulants like Ritalin.
