Sorry if I labeled this wrong.

All night I have been taking a bunch of concerta sublingually or by parachuting. I feel terrible I am real queasy but the worst part is I've had extreme anxiety and almost paranoia over my heart beat its 100-110 laying down and it skyrockets when I get up. It's all I think about. I want to take 1-2 mg of klonopin but I don't know if it work. I've also always tried to make sure I don't mix uppers and downers so I don't even know if its safe
 
Take it. its safe. The damage of anxiety/paranoia most likely outweighs any negative effects from that much clonazepam.
 
Just reading the name of your thread sends shivers down my spine.
As Ho-Chi-Minh said, it's safe to take your clonazepam.
Also I hope (and am sure) you won't attempt these "binges" again, methylphenidate is notorious for anxiety side effects.
 
Definitely take the benzo. I used to have stupid binges where id inject 30-50mg of methylphenidate(ritalin) every few hours and while the first half an hour is nice but then the uncomfortable sensations start and the paranoid/anxious thoughts start and only snowball from there for hours after. Thats why I always had oxycontin(which I was addicted to at the time, id use oxy all the time and ritalin every week or so and mix up shots in the same fit, 40mg of rit and 120-180mg of oxy in one blast and 6mg of xanax an hour beforehand(I was 16-17 and extremely wreckless). That sent me pretty loopy for quite awhile and I OD'd on the oxy+rit+xanax combo once and It was a big scare, I think thats the last time I did it and I had 10mg more ritalin than usual which isnt a huge dose jump so be very careful. This stuff is not good for your body no matter how you do it. I have been offered it in recent times and declined it as the anxiety is not worth the rush you get.

But anyway enough of my life story, yes Clonazepam i.e Klonopin is one of the best things you could hope for, many common benzos are designed to deal with what your going thrugh now. Im sure youve already done it but if you havent read this yet then crush the pill up and put it under your tongue. It shouldnt taste bad and will kick in much quicker. When I have a meth anxiety attack or I just feel shit I stick a xanax under my tongue and the time of onset is noticeably quicker..... Good luck, and no your not going to die or have a heart attack :)
 
That's what happens when you binge on methylphenidate... Definitely take the clonazepam. It should help reel you back in to reality.
 
Mixing uppers and downers regulates your CNS to safer levels. It's drugs of a similar type you don't want to mix. 100-110 BPM heart rate isn't anything to worry about in my opinion. If you are fixated on heart rate, then you just have anxiety.
 
i've been through this many times. Ritalin sucks cause, for me, it's a drug (aswell as cocaine) that you need to use others drugs with to cope the anxiety. and sure you can and need to take these clon's, it's not unsafe. who told you that? this is not speedballing.
 
Methylphenidate is one dirty dirty prescription drug. I remember taking it only 1 time i believe. Took it in the day, couldn't sleep at all. It lasted fore ever, and i felt like a total crack head.
 
Not to mention that rapid onset via intravenous administration results in the immediate feeling of dysphoria, nausea, hypertension, arrhythmia, tachycardia, and general malaise.

IV methlyphenidate feels like, by the time you pushed the plunger down, it feels just like how one feels after having spent 96 hours smoking crack or tweaking balls and is coming down immediately. It's feels like inducing some sort of precipitated withdrawals, and I cannot fathom anyone enjoying it.

It's a shit-drug, IMO.
 
Agreed, and to think kids take this stuff every day. Pretty cruel, wipe the chemical compound off the earth it doesn't belong. Same with piperazines :(
 
^ Agreed, but if it is that terrible in terms of side effects when you binge on MPH or d-MPH, then wouldn't that deter kids from abusing their meds versus the relatively side effect free (at therapeutic dosages) Dexedrine or Adderall, which have FAR higher abuse potential than MPH due to being more euphoric and less ridden with side effects, lacking abuse prevention measures.

It's better for kids to get shit drugs and not become a drug addict, then be given 15-20mg/day or more of amphetamines at 16 and having them tweak hard, permanently imprinting the memory of this euphoric drug experience in her head for years to come, causing amphetamine cravings, usage, addiction, and finally dependence.

Disclaimer: I've never tried MPH or d-MPH due to the loads of terrible information I've read about them, but I have been using prescribed dosages of Dexedrine (10-20mg/day), Adderall (10-20mg/day), or Vyvanse (30-50mg/day), for the last 11 months, daily usage, but I've gone 3 weeks without amphetamines now and other than the focus problem as my ADD is terrible, I realize amphetamines don't really help with ADD when you take them every single day instead of as needed.
 
Ugh I feel the OP's pain. I swear methylphenidate is one of the worst crashes. I would take the clonazepam.mixing depressants with stimulants is not as dangerous as mixing two CNS depressants or 2 CNS stims (though it's not like it's great for you either).

However I will say that the clonazepam will likely not be the godsend you hope it to be. Don't get me wrong, it will help a decent amount, but it's not going to take away that jittery misery in it's entirety...fuck, the last time I used that crap I needed to take benzos and my daily dose of methadone to calm down, and I could still feel lingering effects for three hours.

Take the benzo and hope for the best. However some wounds, only time can heal.
