Hooked on Ritalin

[Dragonhame]

Hi there...need help. I am addicted to Ritalin. I started using it to help me study but now it has consumed my life....I can't stop thinking about it. Plus I never used to drink or smoke..but now I am a borderline alcoholic. I guess I need support without having to go to rehab. I need to know I can beat this...are ther others like me out there...could we support each other? Two weeks ago I landed up in the ER I went pale lost consciousness and could not stop sweating. Everything was fine...except that I had an anxiety attack and according to the doc was burning a candle at both ends. I am desperate for support...I don't want to fuck out...

Welcome to Bluelight.
As cliche as it may seem, admitting you want to get help and/or want to quit, if you're really completely 100% serious, is the first and most important step to succeeding at that goal.
It will be helpful to know how much you've been taking as well as how long you've been taking it. Ritalin can be a nasty little drug but you can get past this with minimal discomfort if you take care of yourself and make positive changes.
