      I was prescribed Ritalin, Concerta and Adderall at various points of my life to treat “ADHD“ and I have to tell you my experience was horrific! I believe it cause psychosis and paranoia and depression. Also a family member of mine was taking my meds when I was not in school and as a result has been hooked on the drug for 30+ years. I have to say it’s very troubling how smiley you are talking about this horrible horrible drug! So you’re going to increase the dosage until the symptoms are adequately under control? So do you believe that the symptoms are equivalent to the diagnosis? If so you should be really ashamed of yourself! The pharmaceutical industry is not seeking to help patients they are seeking to acquire more customers for life! It is ridiculously addictive. Look at the Opiate epidemic in our country! I’m sure doctors like you were smiling telling people it would help them with their pain and alleviate their symptoms all the while getting them to become Addicts for the rest of their life!

    I am on the extended release version, but even that lasts me roughly around 5, sometimes 6 hours. Instead of having a booster dose later, I was prescribed the extended release both morning and afternoon. It works wonders! I only experience mild sideffects when the medication gradually stops working. Other than that, my body takes it pretty well

    I switched from 18mg of Concerta twice a day to 5mg of Ritalin twice a day. The crash I feel on Ritalin is horrible. It’s fall asleep sitting up crash. I felt the Concerta but it was so much smoother. The Ritalin also makes me a jerk and easily angered, but unable to let go. The Concerta made it super easy to transition in tasks and emotions. The Ritalin makes it so I can’t transition in work or emotions. It was far easier to be happy on Concerta. I meet with my doctor tomorrow morning before work. I just hope I can go back to Concerta and maybe increase my dose a little bit. 🙏

    So I went to see a PD and she prescribed me Ritalin and told me to start from 25 mg a day (5-5-5-10) and then add 15 more milligrams each day until I reach 70 milligrams a day (day 4). So as I started taking my meds like that I almost instantly lost my appetite, had trouble to fall asleep then it was worse, I had anxiety attack (never had one before). After seeing my PD once again in 14 days, we agreed I will do another try because I was in stress from my work and that could be the problem. So yeah, today I reached 60 milligrams, had depression, dark thoughts and some other things. Tachycardia, my asthma kicked in... Not sure if Ritalin is the right choice for me, becase I've never felt so close to losing my mind. I want to try something non-stimulant based so let's see.

    If it treats obesity then why did I gain weight on it? Determining the dose of the long acting one is a bit more involved than using your daily dose as you don't know in advance how long it will work. It also doesn't always work all that evenly. In my body the initial dose would be too big and then the slow acting bit would be insufficient and stop working too fast.

    I have been on Ritalin (40mg) since I was a kid, but I stopped about 7 years ago. Recently, I tried taking it again to see how it would affect me. While it helped with concentration, it came at the cost of my emotions. Everything felt gray and dull; nothing was boring, but nothing was funny either. Essentially, I felt like a robot with no emotions.

      what exactly do you think "handling" something is, because in my mind, once you are wishing you are not here anymore or suffering from something that will lead to death, that is too much to handle, people cant handle that. that happens to humans everyday, people die from more than they can handle, and god causes them to die or calls them home or whatever you believe, so you must think that any human experience of suffering including death, is not more than they can handle? this is so invalidating to people who are stuck trying to keep themselves together, it implies that even if youre not handling things so badly youre DYING, that god still thinks you could handle more. we dont have free will to change our bodies or our brains that god gave us. a lot of times it is our brains or our bodies that cause us suffering and our deaths. its okay to say we cant handle some things that god dishes out, we cant understand god in the way you pretend to here, and this is the thing. Even if god does give us more than we can handle, suffering is temporary, and our souls are forever, the eternal I am will always be, even after our bodies and brains are not. thats where faith comes in, dont have faith god wont give you more than you can handle. have faith that god will be there when what god has given you inevitably becomes too much to handle. such is life.
