I think I need a stronger dose of ritalin because I can take 40 mg of it and it puts my mind into this daze.....Like I'm in the zone......I really do have ADHD....but as I got older the hyper part went away into uncontrolable anxiety that I could let loose....Has anybody here had the same expeirence as I have?
 
IME Ritalin i fell in love with, and after years of abuse to my body mind and spirit, going thru sleep deprivation, not eating, not drinking fluids, becoming an OCD maniac, anti social paranoid freak, i dropped the habit, almost ten years later, i try using it again, and all it does it give me negative horrible effects and no more positive. Ritalin is a very ugly drug and it is pretty harmful to the body, it works the same exact way cocaine does on the body, if not worse, only difference is cocaine reaches the BBB (blood brain barrier) much much faster. stay away from that shit before u got horribly addicted to it and anti social
 
opiate I am welcoming what you say but, I do have ADHD and I have been thru a meth induced psychosis and what not. The only thing that makes me coo coo is POT....No amount of pot will ever make me feel good. I understand your concern about abuse. But, what I need and what milligram I would be consider not abusing it.
 
if ur on 40mg, and u feel like its not helping ur ADHD symptoms, i think u should look into stronger ADHD meds (Adderall, Dexedrine, etc) the higher u go up on the ritalin, the tougher it will be on your CNS system, ya know? sorry if i misread ur post...i have ADHD too as u can tell lol..i really think adderall or dexedrine will benefit you man, if 40mg isn't doing it, going higher will only exaggerate bad side effects with that particular drug.
 
I was on ten mg a day and I thought it wasn't doing anything so I just popped 40 to see what would happen and when I get on a subject I focus....and my head is all clear.

sounds like you took 4X your dose, got a little high/euphoric, and liked it. :\

If you want to claim the reason you take it is ADD with a straight face, work with you doctor, and find as low a dose as you need to combat your ADD. You may need 10 you may need 15 you may need nothing and it's all a scam, who knows, i certainly don't through a message board.

There's a difference between treating a possible issue with attention, and chasing a speed-zone. Normal people aren't going around zoned in and euphoric constantly. That isn't what your treatment supposedly treats. If it wasn't full of harsh side-effects and a spiraling addiction, then it would be great for you and I wouldn't be calling bullshit.
Chances are you are dangerously close to losing your chance at treating anything , and are entering some bad territory ahead. It sounds probable that it would be extremely unwise to try to get more powerful medicine.
 
Well if I get stuff done while I'm euphoric well then I guess I go for it. Other then that I can see your point....Maybe methylpenidate isn't for me IDK......

I'm just sayin... If you want to get high once in a while, who am I to disagree?

as far as harm reduction:
1. If you feel you have a actual problem with ADD, abusing the meds is going to ruin your treatment.
2. Your brain isn't gonna be like "yo that was fun, but lets get back to business sonic" Your brain is going to scream for you to take 40 again. You probably already have since the 1st time. And your brain is going to lie to you and tell it's to help you focus etc.. etc..

If you look @ opiatekrzy - he got addicted. Then he actually recommended you take more powerful stuff in his next post. Maybe opiatekrzy now takes those meds.

Just be careful. It's hard to control and it's hard not to rationalize an addiction.
 
I understand. Your right. I will screw up my treatment and also yes I have been upping without a conscience.....
