Methylphenidate (ritalin) Dosage

[Charmz]

So, tomorrow I want to do some Methylphenidate (ritalin, metadate, etc) before I go to school. I have (1) 30mg Metadate CD and I'm planning on crushing up the beads inside and parachuting them. I weigh 100 pounds, so I'm a lightweight. I have no tolerance. My question is: how many mg's should I do? Keep in mind I'm going to school, so I don't want to be too fucked up.

If I were you, I'd try the ritalin for the first time while NOT at school. This is based solely on my own personal experience. I took 20mg ritalin this past Monday, the first time I ever took it, and I felt AWFUL. For 3 or 4 hours, i had bad nausea, became both sleepy and yet very nervous at the same time, it was not pleasant at all. I don't know how common bad reactions are to ritalin, but if i were you I would see how I am going to react to something before taking it at school, where you can potentially get yourself in some serious trouble.

^ this. School sounds like a terrible environment to experiment with a drug you've never done before.

Start with just 10mg, it's a fairly low dose but better to work your way up than start high and feel shitty and be unable to do anything about it.

I don't know, school was the first place I did methylphenidate and it was great, though it was dexmethylphenidate so it might be different taking regular Ritalin the first time. It's not like the OP wants to take shrooms at school for the first time, just 30mg ER.

30mg should be fine. If that doesn't work maybe 60mg. I'd just leave the ER intact, methylphenidate IR is very short acting.
