I'm glad you were able to get it sorted out! I hope the new dosage continues to be good!

Thought I would keep you updated. He switched me to different doses on both Ritalins on the Instant and Slow releases and today I feel great. But he raised my anti-anxiety and depression med to even it out.

I slept from 9 am yesterday until 6 am this morning. I guess the dose was high and it over stimulated me, because I tell you before I slept yesterday and was up for 57 hours straight, I felt like some tweaked out dirty crack head. I had never felt so dirty.

 The come down was powerful but I was smart and phoned my doctor.

 I resume work today and really, it's a blessing I recovered so quick and feel good. But I have told my doctor I want to stay on these doses for a while until I feel that I need to switch.

 I really think everyone should google Ritalin because I do need it, but it is a powerful drug and it's ruined lives. Many people abuse it and get stuck on it.

 Luckily for me I had control and even though I wasn't abusing it, I did have a bad of effect of getting to high on it from a doctor dose increase.

 Again, if any of you get put on mind altering drugs in life and you notice negative changes, use my lesson to contact a doctor right away, because the effects can take a toll instantly.

 Like many people said above, only you know your own self and body.

Good, good!  Always listen to your body and never just assume a doctor knows what he's doing because he is not you and cannot feel the effects of the medication first-hand. You are the only person who can tell if something is working or if something is hurting you, so I'm glad to hear you listened to your worries and gave him a ring. I hope this new dosage helps you rather than hinders you. Just need to keep on top of it if anything starts to feel wrong or like it's not enough.  Good luck to you!

  I'm glad I listened to my body. I couldn't do it anymore. I was tweaked on my prescriptions and I hated it. I just wanted to sleep and feel anything I mean anything else. I felt so dirty and just yuck when I crashed. The experience of being messed up totally flying for 57 hours straight with no way to calm down or sleep, scares me. It doe's. It makes me see how powerful some of these prescription drugs can be and how they can turn you for the worse quick.

  It sickens me we cure young children as early as 4 with this meth relative crap.

 Studies need to be more investigated. I'm an adult that took it growing up and getting back on it messed me really bad and I have used a lot of stuff and have a tolerance. I don't want to imagine what it can do to a poor helpless hyper kid.
