Methylphenidate Prescription, long journey over

How to start this ..

I was born premature 10 weeks, weighed 4 ounces, got oxygen for 2 month, suffered a hydrocephalus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrocephalus
was fine later on, though always suffered from attention problems.

Later in life came depression, then anxiety, lethargy.

I quit a job i've had maybe 7 years ago because of an incident where I felt helpless .. then the isolation started ..
1 year 2, 3,4 5 ..

I've had jobs here and there though my attention sucked ..

One day Im suggested to go take a Professional cooking course, they say it'll get me back on my feet lolz .. ok

It was ok, though I would have never made it through without the teammate I had ..

I had a Presentation to do at the end of the program .., did my best to complete, went to the hospital.

They gave me 2 pills (propanolol), for my speech, didn't work out .. walked out feeling like I'd have an anxiety attack if I stayed ..

Went home and cried .. then smoked some M-39 and SMILED lolz

Then I had my "stage" 105 hours, it was between ok and the chef is sick of me ..
At the end he said goodbye and good luck ..

2 days later, I have a follow up with a psychiatrist, I was later 15 minutes, though he understood quickly, it wasn't about anxiety ..

He told me he thinks I have Learning disabilities with Attention disorder ..

I felt relieved .. finally an answer ..

Got a prescription (Ritalin), the guy said Ill get a small dose to start (10 mg), every four hours.

got it yesterday, went to fill my stomach, took the pill today at 12, had this rush lol !

The effect were felt within 5 minutes, 10 max.
Slight head rush, no gitters,nervous ticks, no teeth cleanching. ( had that already)

Changes : (12:33) euphoria, confidence, excitement, increased attention, alertness, enthusiasm, wanting to communicate.

Feels like a new beginning, its really great.

Don't feel like smoking a cigarette, or pot lolz, though it's all good ..

So that's that, just wanted to rant.

Gonna go for a walk, see how long this pill lasts.

i used to use the aderil recreationally, its kinda the same shit. if i popped 2 in the morning i would be "high" till about dinner.

Update

Effect calmed down after 2:30, felt like having a beer, and a cigarette lol, didn't have beer, so didnt smoke .. better this way.
Wouldn't mind having a joint, though im fine without ..

next dose in 15 mins

Good times !

Sounds good, my buddys on adderol, he says it doesn't give him an appeteit but idk about ritalin..

Lol fun fact I was prescribed ritalin at the age of 4

Just don't go overboard dude, if you have the desire to get high just smoke some herb. Too much of any pharm is never a good thing

I had the second dose (1 pill) at 4:00 pm, tho far from the same effect compared to the first.

The psychiatric did say I might need a stronger dose in time, and I could take 2 at once if I feel it just doesn't work anymore (he's back in office in 3 weeks) ..so I'll see how things go.

One thing I'm watching out for is nutrition and hydration, Ritalin doesn't suppress my appetite, It seems to depletes the reserve quicker.

I'll stick to the once after every meal advice, if in a week it doesn't work the same, I'll follow his instructions.

the euphoria is something you'll get sometimes when first taking ritalin (methylphenidate). it goes away pretty quickly, i didn't feel the euphoria when starting on ritalin, but after i stopped using it and started up again a couple months later i felt the euphoria for the first day. also experienced euphoria when first starting adderall. it's only a temporary side effect when first taking it, so taking larger amounts to try and get that effect would only be abusing it. like verde said, too much of any pharm is never a good thing. also, if ritalin (methylphenidate) ends up not working for you don't give up, there are plenty of other options that might work for you. i've only had probs with prescription meds but there may be something out there that will work well for you. ritalin never worked for me, only caused severe anxiety, but adderall worked well for me until all the side effects got to be too much. good luck, hope it works for you.

Thanks for the kind words, I don't plan on using MPH recreationally, just feel like having a fix that works ..

Ehh, tomorrow is an other day.

I don't think adderall or other drugs like it (ritalin) are the fix you're looking for . . . .


if you're seriously looking for something to balance your life, cannabis is the one thing that can truly do it, better than anything you could possibly find in a pill.

and if you're not in a state in which you can get a medical perscription, but it sounds like you are because of the strains you talked about smoking, get to a state where you can grow enough weed to be medicated ALL day. it seems to be what you want, so you should grow enough weed to do so.

it works out great for me.

edit:

by the way, I was on adderall for 8 months. it made me feel like a robot, I suffered a pretty severe depression during and a few months after. but I recovered and shortly after I started smoking cannabis, then a year later I got my script and grew enough bud for me to blaze all day. and I still do to this day. all I could ask for is more strains!!! but that's just me personally, I bet you'll find 3 strains you like and stick with them (or more.)

I'll agree with you on that one, a nice sativa dominant strain would be great ..

Waking up in a state where I can get a medical card and responsibly manage my prescription\ state of mind .. Priceless, dream like even ( edit - will look into that one tomorrow)

p.s I've had Jack herer, white berry, Purple kush, M-39, and some other narcotic kush (no thanks) in order of preference.

seems like you know what you need to get this balance bro . . . .. I say get it going bro. fuckin grow and you'll be balanced man.
