Stimulants Focalin Binge... (Kinda?) Help me out here.

Ok so I don't know if I would call this "binging" or not but here's what I did.

I snorted 20 mg Focalin XR, and got the urdge to move around and talk. I have somewhat of a tolerance to the drug due to taking it before and using is recreationally. This is my first time on it in a little bit, although I currently take another stimulant therapeutically. (Vyvanse) I'm not sure if this counts towards my tolerance to Focalin, and vice versa.

In less than hour or so, I snorted another 20 mg. I didn't feel much different. I was moving around a bit still, had to the urge to be productive.

In a short time after that, I took two 5 mg Focalin IR. I now feel kind of sedated, in way. I don't know how to describe it.

As mentioned before, I do have somewhat of a tolerance to the drug. I am almost 16, weigh about 150 lbs and about 5'8". I don't know if it matters, but I am "bulking up" right now so I am consuming lots of calories.

So in total, I've taken 60 mg Focalin, XR snorted and IR orally. I have a good cardiovascular system, and am not feeling much discomfort in my heart. There is no way I am going to sleep safe and sound tonight, although I may get a few hours via Benadryl... I already feel kinda tired.

My question being, how much more Focalin would be safe to consume? If I can crank out all this work tonight, I don't plan on taking more until tomorrow, where instead of taking my Vyvanse (non-recreational) I will take up to 80 mg Focalin XR to help get through school. Luckily, I don't have any sports or physical activities tomorrow.

Is it safe to take the Focalin XR tomorrow? What about an ORAL dose of 20 mg for the rest of the nigh/early morning, and then 60 mg to help me get through the day? Or, would none for the rest of the night be better, and 80 mg for school tomorrow?

Sorry for typing so much; I think I am having trouble getting to my points. This must be an effect of the Focalin. I should probably start typing up some school work...

ALL HELP IS APPRECIATED, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
 
The maximum recommended dosage of dexmethylphenidate is 40 milligrams in divided dosages. Since you've already exceeded that, I don't recommend you consume anymore.

Focalin XR has a half-life of 12 hours. Focalin IR has a half-life of 6 hours.
 
Wow you sounded tweaked out. Redosing methylphenidate is a bad idea. It has less and less of an effect when you do so. Put it down and get some sleep, honestly, your body needs it after that abuse.

As I've said before, don't combine the focalin and vyanase. That's a recipe for disaster and a burst of dopamine which you don't want putting it lightly. It's not enjoyable and dangerous on your cardiovascular system.
