Ok so basically, it usually takes 4 or 5 10mg to get me the desired euphoric high.


- The time at the current moment where I am is 00:00 AM

- I dosed 40mg early yesterday morning at around 10:00 AM (Was a nice buzz.)

- I was still feeling jittery/twitchy that evening, and waiting for the effects to complete wear off.

- It was 10:30 PM and I realized my heart's beats had slowed down to normal.

- I re-dosed 60mg at exactly 11:00 PM and waited patiently for the effects to kick in...

- It's now 12:41 AM and I still feel no effects.... They never actually kicked in, this is the first time this has happened.
I know there is alot of discussion about tolerance and such, but not once in the past have I ever had this problem?
They actually made me tired more than anything, i'm just curious as to WTF IS GOING ON??

I have never had a problem with tolerance, always the same amount does the trick, except this time I took 1 more than I
usually would ingest and the effects basically reversed, except my heart beat seems a little bit more irregular in terms of beats.
I basically just need some advice from an experienced user and/or professional who can shed some light on as to why
this has happened, I don't take them very often, only once in a while.

Thankyou for your help. xx 8(
 
Could be any number of factors, how often you've been using, etc.

Stimulant tolerance grows quite rapidly....it sounds like yours may be going up even more...
 
This is the way it is with most stimulants - you'll always chase the original dose/high, but you'll never achieve it. You should've just called it a night and saved the 60 mg until you got some sleep.

Amphetamines are famous for this effect - you just stay up for days and days doing more and more trying to get the same high you first got at the very start of your binge. I know Ritalin is not an amphetamine, but I'm sure you are experiencing this effect.
 
You were already way higher that baseline when you dosed again. Even if you swear up and down that you came down and that your heart was normal, you were not sober.

Consume liquids, eat a snack and get some sleep. Dose after, when it seems appropriate and you will be much more satisfied with the experience.
