(Methylphenidate/72 mg)

8)
I dropped the first 36mg pill at 7:30. Minor effects sprung on me at around 8:30.

I was not satisfied with the extremely weak buzz, so I popped another at 9:00.

This time I also chased it with two shots of jack daniels.
By 10, it was kicking in hard. I can explain the feeling as being a very weak chemical high, with a burning, almost uncomfortable, but nonetheless alerting buzz. It feels good, socializing is... comfortable. Talking with people seems easy.

At 11 I begin coming down. Like adderall (farrr worse though), I suddenly feel a kink in my euphoria and I begin to come down in waves. As I'm coming down, I'm entering a party.

*fuck fuck!* Im saying to myself. I don't want to take another. So I begin drinking beer!

Suddenly at 12 I start to become the most paranoid I've been in a while. The alcohol begins to steamroll me like a train, but it does little to cover the comedown! I'm paranoid and drunk!

The cops come. I can describe the experience as me being too cracked out to look anyone in the eye. At this point people are hooking up in bedrooms and shit. I just want to go home.

I go home at 1:30. By 2:00 I'm in my bed rethinking things. I still dont regret going home. My soul feels like someone took a cigarette and burned a hole in it.

Moral of the story is that being greedy is a sin. I took 2 concerta knowing fully well that the stuff would be bad news. But I was so obsessed with the idea of having a stim to keep me awake and social, that I overlooked the fact that the repercussions of my actions would ultimately backfire.

Nice report that is short and to the point. I remember these got me through high school, or at least through senior year! Never had another since then though as they used to keep me awake the entire night once the euphoria went away.

Seems like quite a high dose.I insufflated 10mg ir and that was quite a kick for me with a crappy comedown so can imagine the comedown from that was quite rough.

^yea, I'll second that as a rather high dose, but again, I've insufflated all the methylphenidate I've had the chance to have--generic ritalin and focalin. never more than 10-20 mg for me, and it was always a pretty decent stim rush...nothing compared to railing 5mg dexedrine though

^Oral methylphenidate is not as strong as snorting in my experience. Snorting is probably about 2x as potent for me. Also, Concerta is a time released preparation, so the 72mg of oral methylphenidate was not absorbed all at once.

To the original poster:

I'm not surprised this was not as enjoyable as you had hoped. For me, there is hardly any mood lift from methylphenidate, and the initial positive effects fade very quickly into an anxious, jittery state. Concerta is probably my least favorite methylphenidate pill as well, it's time release mechanism is very effective. With Concerta, the positive effects remain brief, but the comedown gets drawn out quite a bit.

All in all, I think amphetamines are superior stimulants to methylphenidate. They produce genuine euphoria for me, and they work very well for increasing sociability and energy for a party situation. They are better as study aids as well IMO. They have a stronger and longer lasting focusing effect compared to methylphenidate.

Have you tried Adderall or other amphetamines?
